As I dug deeper into the many, many cases that came from Lucky Brown\u2019s collection, I discovered that the BL2 also has the extension viewfinder, three Cooke Speed Panchro lenses, lens focus and stop tabs, focus and stop strips, a zoom lens blimp for an Angenieux 20-120, and a motor variable speed control. With the addition of these accessories, I will have to rethink what I am asking for the camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"2135\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Arriflex 35 BL 4S 35mm motion picture film camera with 1000' magazine and video tap\" class=\"wp-image-2135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"2138\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-4-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Arriflex 35 BL 4S 35mm motion picture film camera with 1000' magazine, two-stage swing away matte box, extension eyepiece, drop-in follow focus, and video tap\" class=\"wp-image-2138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-4-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-4.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While searching for my next restoration project, I stumbled over this lovely Arri 35 BL 4S that I used to shoot several of Lucky\u2019s features. The camera originally belonged to Clairmont Camera and I was able to make a deal with Roy Isaia to add this to MovieTech\u2019s collection. After a very deep cleaning that is still to be done, this camera package will feature the BL 4S camera body, video tap, two 1000\u2019 magazines, extension eyepiece, 2-stage swing away matte box, drop-on follow focus, pistol grip, and a Tobin Cine variable speed control. While the camera is very dirty from sitting in storage and has way more tape on it than any camera should, it just needs a good deep clean and servicing before it will be available for sale. The Arri 35 BL 4S is one of my favorite cameras and I hope to find this one a good and appreciative home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"2136\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Arriflex 35 BL 4S 35mm motion picture film camera with 1000' magazine, video tap two-stage swing away matte box, extension eyepiece, drop-in follow focus, pistol grip, and variable speed control\" class=\"wp-image-2136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"2137\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-3-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Arriflex 35 BL 4S 35mm motion picture film camera with 1000' magazine, two-stage swing away matte box, extension eyepiece, drop-in follow focus, and video tap\" class=\"wp-image-2137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-3-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/arri-bl4s-3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am glad that so many of you feel as warm and fuzzy toward the Arri 35 BL series of cameras as I do.
