Arriflex 35BL

[citation needed] It uses a fixed butterfly reflex shutter, which gave the cinematographer an exact representation of the recorded frame.

The development of the 35BL began in 1966, since there was no handholdable, silent, reflex 35 mm camera at that time.

[1] The Arriflex 35BL was released just in time to document the 1972 Summer Olympics, in Arri's hometown Munich.

It was also one of Arri's longest running product lines, being produced from 1972 until 1990, when the Arriflex 535 replaced it.

The 35BL series has been used on many notable films, such as Barry Lyndon,[2] Taxi Driver,[3] The Shining,[4] and Return of The Jedi.
