I bought this camera in 2010. It was converted to 2 Perf (Techniscope) by the ARANDA GROUP in Melbourne, Australia, and I have never used it. It has been tested for operation every year since, and it is in very good working condition. 

Until it was converted to 2 Perf (Techniscope) by the Aranda Group the camera was used in London for live action insert scenes in animation films. So, you can appreciate that it has had very little use.

The BL2 has a 180° fixed shutter, two-pull down claw movement, and double registration pins. This camera has a digital tachometer and is capable of speeds of 50 fps. Circuit boards can be changed in the field because they are slotted. The BL2 camera has internal shock mountings. The camera has a Sync Sound Motor capable of both 24fps and 25fps. 

The package includes: 

1 x Arriflex BL2 Techniscope (2 Perf) 35mm Sync Sound Movie Camera Body in Bayonet Mount

1 x Matte Box

1 x Prime Lens Blimp

2 x 400 ft Magazines

2 x 1000 ft Magazines

1 x Short Viewfinder

1 x Video Assist System (Watec PAL Color Unit. It is powered from the camera body. Flicker free at 25fps. Minimal flicker at other speeds)

1 x Arri Variable Speed Unit from 5fps-50fps (The Arri VSU had the cable replaced in 2013. It was tested on a BL4 and is in very good working condition)

1 x Magazine Sound Blimp

1 x Magazine Change Bag

3 x Original Road Cases for everything: 

- Camera road case with camera body (23 Kg / 51 lbs)

- 1000 ft mag case with 2 mags (16 Kg / 36 lbs)

- 400 ft mag case with 2 mags (15 Kg / 33lbs)

I will ship to various countries around the world.

The package will be sent via Freight.

Local pick up available! 

The TECHNISCOPE format is a natural 2.35:1 (Panavision/Cinemascope) format.  1.78:1 and 1.85:1 formats can be easily extracted from the frame.

TECHNISCOPE has the important cost saving advantage of using half the film length because 2 perforations are pulled down for each exposure, rather than the usual 4.  This is extremely attractive to producers who are wrestling with film-versus-video budgets or super 16-versus-35 budgets.
