Nate: Unless you can find a really good rental deal, you might look at how inexpensive really good film cameras have gotten. You can find a decent 16SR2 with everything but a lens for $2500. And you can probably sell it when you don’t need it for not much less.

I love non-reflex CP16s, but the reflex CP16 is not that great a camera — as disliked as the Arri 16BL. And oddly they don’t show up as often. Everyone assumes that the reason to own a camera is to be able to shoot whenever you want to. That’s true, but what’s more important for spontaneous filmmaking is having the ability to NOT shoot when things aren’t working out. Had you gone to the trouble of renting a camera, you will be more likely to shoot when you’d be better off not shooting.
