Is it me, or has the price of the FF4 dropped quite a bit from this time last year? I thought it was about $4k for it.
Maybe I was smoking something...

I think it still is right around there.

I think that is the price for the base unit and maybe some gears. You probably still need a 19mm adapter, right hand focus knob, right hand extension (if you use a big matte box) and focus whip.Originally Posted by XiaoSu Han

If you dont have much.. you can pick up a FF2 in the 1500-2200 range..
It is the same thing as a FF4,
except your limited to the 15mm 100mm spacing, and non clip on.

It is about $2,400 pounds, not US dollars- so that put it inline with other US dealers of around $4k.

Ryan, try looking at it again....It's "£ 1,552.97" which currently equals out to $2169.65 USD for the basic FF. Even when you add a few other accessories, it's under $3500. Of course, there might be duty when bringing this into the US, so who knows how much it would actually cost.

oops, my mistake- I saw the price of the MB-20- sorry about that.
That is a GREAT deal- as it is about $600 cheaper then buying it from Film Tools which has it listed at just under $2,800- I wonder what import fees there would be ....

Where is it made? What country?

I believe it's still made in Germany. I would say that there is more duty already added into the price of the product since you would be buying it from the UK, but I think the EU has changed duty on things like that. Who really knows what duty would be on it. I tried looking up duty before and it was really hard to figure out what it would be. Not to mention that even if there is supposed to be duty on it, it may fall through the cracks.
