Arriflex 16SR Super 16 Fiberscreens and Fiberscreen conversions available from CinemaTechnic
All Super-16 conversions of the Arriflex 16SR must include a replacement of conversion of the existing standard-16 Fibescreen (Fiber-Optic Viewing Screen or “ground glass”) to the Super-16 format.
There are two options available:
1) Replace the existing Fiberscreen with a new ARRI Super-16 format Fiberscreen for the Arriflex 16SR-3, fully compatible with all Super-16 converted 16SR-I or 16SR-II. Price is $1,350.00 USD NOTE: These viewing screens are discontinued by ARRI an no longer available new.
2) Convert the existing Fiberscreen to Super-16 format. This is a very high precision process of removing the existing format markings and electrodepositing new markings. Cinematechnic offers a service to convert your existing standard-16 fiberscreen to Super-16.
We have contracted with a very specialized facility in the U.S., with extensive experience in this area, to perform these conversions. Price is $639.00 USD, plus shipping. Turn around time is approximately six to eight weeks.
The above price requires that you provide an acceptable condition 16SRII or 16SR3 fiber optic screen as a “core”. The price without core is $789.-
NOTE: If you want your 16SR fiberscreen converted, don’t wait untill the last minute. There is only one facility in the world that can do this work and turn around times are approximate and can be as much as 6-8 weeks during peak demand.

They do not include shading of the “look around” area beyond full aperture or the dots on the left edge for the light meter needle. All format markings have crosshairs.
