How are you going about silencing the Cameflex--a blimp? Seems like a
formidable task to totally silence such a noisy camera. Doesn't seem like
a barney would be that effective.

The Cameflex silencer!
Well, if you can silence a Cameflex, you can do anything. It's even noisier
than an Arri 2c.
I knew a machinist who silenced the Mitchell without the blimp. He used
belts instead of gears.
Good luck, and do let us know.

As luck would have it I have a 10mm Schneider prime in an Arri standard
mount w/ front and rear caps that I've been meaning to put up on ebay.
I'd prefer to sell it to someone on the list if anyone is interested.
Contact me privitely.
Thanks,
Joshua
