16mm
Taken from here. This is the exact model we used last night.
When Rachel’s class was cancelled last night. Rupert and I decided instead to go and watch a roughcut of our latest film ‘So, You want to make a film?’. We stumbled down to the tech’s room only it empty. So we walked down to the end room, as we heard some form of human activity down that and and we walked straight into the beginning of a 16mm class. Paul invited Rupert and I to stay, and we obliged.
I must say, it is fate. We were planning on shooting on 16mm in the next few weeks, and i only realised last night, how different the Arriflex 16mm is from a Bell & Howell 16mm to which i was previously more apt with. We learnt how to clapper load. Set the Camera up, break it down, we messed around with a wide angle lens and we learnt f stop and lighting. It was a much needed brush up for me, it being 2 or 3 years now since i last used 16mm. I also now know the F-stops off by heart

Anyway, i think we should have had a Masters class with 16mm, this was really high standard stuff. I enjoyed the hell out of it.
