ARRI
Product description
The Arriflex 35 BL (Blimped Lightweight), introduced in 1972, was the first self-blimped 35mm motion picture camera quiet enough for sync-sound shooting without an external housing. Its mirror-reflex viewfinder and rugged construction made it a standard tool in European and independent filmmaking from the 1970s onward.
Connection note
Used Arriflex cameras for Kiarostami's Koker Trilogy and Taste of Cherry (1997).
