    In 1989, I took a course at the ARRI factory in Munich on Türkenstraße, where I learned to disassemble and reassemble the 16SR, ARRI 3, and BL4. I still have my certificate, and I’ll never forget watching live on TV on 9th November as the Wall was being demolished by protesters. After finishing my course, I took a train to Berlin and managed to bring back a small piece of the Wall with me. I’m very happy to see how ARRI has evolved to become the leader in the industry. Hats off to German engineering, craftsmanship, and vision. By the way, back then, the factory canteen had no robot, and the food was horrible...lol!

    The optics engineer put clearly into a technical context why old photo lenses still look great even tho they can't make out so many lines as their modern couterparts. I'm sure there's a model to be calculated for all lens parameters but I truly believe old Zeiss T's beat modern razor sharp lenses subjectively. Modern pro cine lenses are great too but nobody can afford them for recreational use. The wide ARRI primes are incredible with their staight edged "window to the world" projection.
