ARRI

ARRIFLEX 535 B

Released in 1993 as a lighter, more compact redesign of the original ARRIFLEX 535. It is a 35mm sync-sound production camera with PL mount, crystal-controlled speeds from 3 to 60 fps, and a mechanical variable shutter adjustable from 11 to 180 degrees. Supports Super 35 format and SMPTE time code. It was replaced by the Arricam ST and LT in 2000.
