So, when is it ARRI and when is it ARRIFLEX?

ARRI is the name of the company: Arnold & Richter, who manufacture the cameras in Munich (and some other places). ARRIFLEX is what ARRI makes. ARRIFLEX is the camera: ARRIFLEX 16 SR3, 435, 535, 35 BL, 35-3, 2C, 16 SR, 16S, 16M, 16BL, and so on. ARRIFLEX CORPORATION is the United States importer and distributor of ARRIFLEX Cameras, which they get from ARRI. There are many other ARRI agents around the world: including ARRI GB, ARRI CANADA, ARRI  ITALIA, and FOKI OY of Finland. No confusion there.

It took me 10 years to figure all this out, which is why the book titles changed every few years, something like a politician.

The other thing that changed is how the cameras are named, and not even ARRI or ARRIFLEX or anyone else seems consistent on this. Originally, I called it an ARRI 16SR-1. These days, it's an ARRIFLEX 16 SR1. Sorry.
