Arriscope

Arriscope

In 1989, Germany's Isco Optic developed a line of Anamorphic Lenses especially for Arriflex, which were given the moniker Arriscope. ArriScope and ArriVision are a form of the CinemaScope/Panavision process with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1.

Use

ArriScope was first used on the production of Body Snatchers (1993), the second Remake of the Don Siegel Sci-fi Thriller. ArriVision was used for two 3D feature film Amityville (1983) and Jaws 3 (1983).

Popularity and Drawbacks

In general however the lenses never became popular for anamorphic films because they are very heavy and had breathing problems. Arri have sold most of them to India and are not even renting them out anymore. The current market for PL mount anamorphic lenses is being serviced by Vantage Film (makers of the Hawks lenses), Elite and Joe Dunton Company.
