I expect to have 10 more of the ARRI S cables available in the next week or two. Thanks again for your support, and happy new year! ln.run/DffCX #CinemaGear #arri #arriflex #cameras #16mm #35mm

The ARRI S cables are made with a whole different set of machining processes. The copper contact sleeves for the ARRI S cables are based on metric size copper tubing, and I am in the process of making another fixture to speed up the machining of those.

One of the last things I worked on before the holidays was a fixture that would let me machine the solder lugs onto the copper contact sleeves ten at a time. This setup let me make enough parts to complete 10 more of the ARRI 2B/2C power adapters in a reasonable amount of time.

There are more of both ARRI accessories in the process of being printed and assembled as we speak. In my shop, I can only machine the copper contact sleeves for the ARRI 2B/2C power adapters one at a time, and there are two different size holes for the plus and minus contacts that must be machined.

All of this work is done by hand, one piece at a time, except for the 3D printed parts, so it has been a time consuming labor of love.

It has only been out of the original Arriflex factory boxes 3 times in its life and it has never had a single frame of film shot through it. The ARRICAM ST was introduced in 2000 and, along with the ARRICAM LT, were the last silent studio film cameras ARRI released.

The power cable is not included. These ARRI 2B and 2C power adapters are now available and will be $149 each, plus shipping. I am still working on the inserts that will fit the motors that have two big pins, those will be available in early 2026.

The 3D printed body of our power adapter features 2 solid copper barrel-type contacts, machined to fit the large pin and the small pin of most of the stock ARRI pistol grip motors. On the back of the adapter is a standard 4-pin XLR plug, ready for use with your XLR power cable.
December 19, 2025 at 7:01 PM
Now those cables can be replaced with our power adapter and any off-the-shelf 4-pin XLR power cable. Our adaptor is very simple to use. It simply plugs into the motor where the old power cable would go, giving you an industry standard 4-pin XLR connector, ready for your power cable.

The Distagon series of wide angle lenses were introduced in1952 and are noted for their sharpness and flatness of field.

Founded in 1846 in Jena, Germany, Zeiss has been a leader in the optical field for nearly two centuries. One of their earliest innovations in the photographic lens sphere came in 1902 with the introduction of the Tessar lens, which was renowned for its sharpness and contrast.

At some point in its life, this lens went from shooting portraits to making movies on a Bell & Howell 2709. I imagine it being used for some of those dreamy close-ups you often see in silent films.

“perfect flatness of field and superior sharpness of definition and brilliancy, which extend evenly over the entire field.” These lenses were also touted for their speed and their high color correction.

These lenses are fast for indoor and outdoor photography, and constructed with the highest quality elements using advanced glass formulas developed by Zeiss. Bausch & Lomb advertised the Tessar Ic lenses as having

The Tessar lens design dates back to 1903 when it was invented by Dr. Paul Rudolph while he was working at Zeiss. The Tessar was revolutionary in its time because it was one of the earliest lenses to market that was astigmatically corrected and flat of field at the same time.
