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 the Three Colors Trilogy (1993–94) and The Double Life of Véronique (1991), employing custom filters to achieve the distinctive color palettes of each film
