Our Thoughts

The ARRI Arriflex 235 is one of the smallest and lightest 35mm motion picture cameras ever built, making it the perfect choice for handheld work, Steadicam, gimbals, car rigs, drones, and any situation where size and weight matter without sacrificing the unmistakable look of 35mm film.

​

At DC Film Gear, we offer the Arriflex 235 in both 4-perf and the exceptionally rare 2-perf configuration. Our 2-perf 235 is one of only a handful in existence worldwide, giving filmmakers access to a format that's nearly impossible to find on the rental market. Shooting 2-perf provides a widescreen 2.39:1 image while using half the film stock of traditional 4-perf, dramatically reducing stock and processing costs without compromising the cinematic aesthetic.

​

Whether you're looking for the flexibility of standard 4-perf or the efficiency and exclusivity of 2-perf, our Arriflex 235 delivers the reliability, mobility, and legendary ARRI image quality that have made it a favorite on feature films, commercials, music videos, and passion projects alike.
