ARRI, The Old Fashioned Kind

[fuzzynormal]

Recently came into possession of this nice and functional 35mm 2C-BV ARRIFLEX.  Before I eventually sell it I'm considering shooting a 200' roll to notch that experience; just to say "I done done that"  2 whole minutes of footage!  What the hell.  Ain't cheap, kind of financially stupid to do this sort of undertaking, but maybe ultimately worth the effort, I think? Anyone out there willing and able to offer advice regarding the lens situation with these old things?

You only live once Fuzzy - not much use sitting in your rocking chair thinking "I wish i'd done that when I was a young".Some people pay 3,000 English pounds for a 30 minute flight in a two seat Spitfire ,I bet they don't forget the experience !

I guess I just need to figure out a worthwhile story to tell with 1.5 minutes of film.

30 or more takes is probably not a good idea either !

A time-lapse of the fuel price sign at your local filling station over the next month would be one for the ages.
