Arriflex 35 IIIC
The Arriflex 35 was the first reflex 35mm production motion picture camera, released by German manufacturer Arri in 1937. Function It was built around the spinning reflex twin-bladed "butterfly" mirror shutter designed by Erich Kästner, chief engineer at Arnold & Richter Cine Technik (ARRI), Arri Group, set at 45 degrees horizontally to the lens axis. This mirror reflex system was invented in 1931. Modern standard models have a maximum shutter exposure opening of 165 degrees, (not 180 degrees as claimed in Arri manuals), the 35 IIC-BV model having a variable shutter. The mirror shutter allows the camera operator to see a viewfinder image equal to the recorded picture, without parallax, although there is noticeable image flicker in the viewfinder when the camera is running, caused by the two open exposure segments of the mirror shutter. The camera utilizes a three lens turret with three aluminum Arri lens mounts (later 35 IIC/B with one stainless steel bayonet mount and two alum ...

Reflex Finder
A reflex finder is a viewfinder system with a mirror placed behind a lens. The light passing through the lens is reflected by the mirror to a focusing screen, usually ground glass. The image formed on this ground glass can be observed directly, giving a ''waist-level reflex finder,'' or through a redressing optical device (set of mirrors or prism) for eye-level viewing, giving an ''eye-level reflex finder''. With a reflex finder, a photographer may focus the image on the ground glass and frame the picture at the same time. It is common to find a device on the center of the ground glass to help precise focusing, for example a split-image or a microprism device. Today's reflex cameras usually incorporate autofocusing. Reflex finders are found in: * Single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras, with one lens for both viewing and taking the picture * Twin-lens reflex (TLR) cameras, with one lens for viewing and one lens for taking the picture * Movie camera A movie camera (also known as a f ...
