At present two different lens support brackets are available. A two-piece lens support bracket with the appropriate camera platform can be used on both the ARFllFLEX 35 (Cat, No. 2200) and the ARRIFLEX 16 (Cat. No. 2204) for all of the required ARRIFLEX lenses listed including the 60omm Fern-Kilar. For the latter an extra long lens carriage is needed which is mounted permanently on the lens. For the ARHlFLEXSS a one-piece lens support bracket (Cat- No. 10000) is also available which is shorter than the two-piece one. Upon this a large number of lenses can be used with the exception of the 600 mm Fern-Kilar and similar long and heavy lenses. A lens support bracket of the same type for the ARRIFLEX 16 is in preparation.
