June delivery on target?

[David Rasberry]

Congratulations Mitch! Nice coup.

[Jay Gannon]

Congrats Mitch, wish you the best with it!

[Mitch Gross]

Cameras will begin to ship this month. I believe next week.

[DCC Erickson]

And the newbie in the corner sez "Holy Crap that's expensive!"

[Michael Hastings]

Congratulations, Mitch it looks like a great camera and as the earlier poster said - nice coup.

I plan on going by CSC here in Ft. Lauderdale and see if I can borrow one to make an underwater housing soon.

I didn't see a weight on the spec sheet, can you give me a ballpark? Never mind, found it 13.7 body, 15.2 lbs with vf, mount bracket and cable.

But what stills camera lens mounts will be available soon?

Mitch, will Abel also be carrying the Alura zooms?

[Mitch Gross]

Don't know the schedule but ARRI previously announced the Exchangeable Lens Mount (ELM) to allow Panavision as well as various stills format lenses. Don't know which they are planning first but I'm sure you could guess.

Mitch, will Abel also be carrying the Alura zooms?

Yes!
