Hello followthefocus
There are yet more factors around my purchase of the BNC in 1989.
I was lead to the Mitchell Camera BNC 356 by a professional projectionist
who was working with Chris Condon of Steriovision international.
All the people at Steriovision had an advanced knowledge of lens use in independent production.
USE OF MITCHELL BNC WITH EXOTIC VAROUS NON STANDARD LENSES -
Their understanding at Steriovision and valuation of any Mitchell BNC rack over had much to do with flexible use
of ALL POSSIBLE LENSES KNOWN .
This is due to the Mitchell BNC Camera features as follows :
-- a large diameter port
-- a deep long flange focal distance
--and a large heavy duty rod matt box assembly on the front of the MITCHELL BNC.
ABOUT THE SALE
So the day came when I meet Jake Monroy (owner of the BNC 356 and former Mitchell Factory Worker)
and I proposed the SALE with a rather high price paid over time 8500..
My competitor according to Jake for the purchase was Special effects Supervisor Richard Edlund for whom I have great respect .
I offered two thousand dollars over fair market price and made payments for a few years .
During that time of payments Jake told me many things about the Mitchell Camera History which I will share here.
I hope I have more than hinted at the "special reason" in my reply .
Cheers
Bruce
