ARRI MACRO - ANY

[gabriel bemergui]

I am looking for any Arri macro lens, depending on the state of conservation we can pay 25% to 50% more than the normal market price.

Why not buy them new then?

Thank you Stephen.
it seems that the lenses are discontinued...the only one that you can find new is the 100mm master macro.
As a rental house the lenses are our weckness, even if have the cookes, master primes etc, when a customer ask for a complete macro set...there's nothing that you can do.
Please let me know if you heard about a friend or broker selling this lenses.

TBH the self compensating series are not that good mechanically, when you change direction of the focus the image jumps slightly. Seen it with multiple sets & get told nobody 'nobody else complains' when I do.
Using Digi Diopters on Ultra Primes is way better on many shots. The DigiDiopters are 95mm & the price has been drastically cut from when released.

You're right...I was very sad once Arri stopped with Master diopter +1 ( they are selling only +1/2 and +2 ) but the digi will work with tha panchros and ultras...
As a rental house we need the macros, but I will do the comparison as you did and show it to the DOP here in Brasil.

Thank you very mutch for the tip, please contact me anytime if you come to Brasil.

The great advantahe of using diopters is the focus is greatly expanded.

I am aware that Arri has some pre production Master diopters sitting on the shelf.......in Germany. They can find you a +1.....

Wow...do you have a contact from germany ?
