  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Arri Lens Price List?

I'm using yen and $, Paul's http://www.cameraaccess.com/camera/ is real deal for me.
Last weeks' snow storm was bit too much for UK to handle, otherwise it's great.

Of course living in the UK we have miles when you are on the roads, but meters and centimeters for measuring!! Oh yes - in some industries we use feet and inches as well.

So we use Ultras and Masterprimes in both metric and feet.
 
I have a hunch that lens prices are going to start falling soon. We're already seeing it in the used markets. Suddenly there's more sets of super speeds for sale over the past few weeks. Prices on a good set of 5 common lenses is $10K~$15K cheaper than they were 5 months ago. I feel sorry for those who spent $45K on a set of speeds back in September. Ouch.

Getting an old price list from Arri doesn't help anyone. You have to purchase through an authorized distributor anyway, like AbelCine. Contact them for a price quote on the lenses you're looking for. Depending on availability, exchange rates, etc.. the prices change.

Oh, and that UltraPrime 8R (8mm rectilinear) is tits. :) Wish I could afford to own one. Same for the LWZ-1 compact zoom.
 
If buying lenses in the UK I would recommend Mitcorp (ask for Darren) or Arri direct. I've never heard of 'camera access' (that might not mean anything and they could be great people) and their prices look wrong. They are definitely overstating their discounts.

Don't underestimate service!

good luck

Hi It's Robin again. The set of Ultra Primes (16, 24, 32, 50, 85 and 135mm) arrived in London Today. They are with Darren at Mitcorp. The set costs £41, 150. That's $63,000 at today's exchange rate. That has got to be cheap! PM me before you contact Darren so that I know who has taken them. Then I can get my deposit back!

PS let anyone else know who migh be interested, ie hire companies. These lenses are in feet.

Thanks

Robin Horn
