Esteemed colleagues; when you think of the most famous Mitchell Camera ever, based on the impact it had on our industry, which one pops into your head? Is it Toland's first BNC filming Wuthering Heights or perhaps his rig used to film Citizen Kane? Maybe you go with somebody else completely different and back to the silent era or jump ahead to the days of 65/70mm. The choices are many. However, for pure innovative genius and the effects of painting with light (a term now in common speak) who can dispute Stanley Kubrick's amazing Zeiss 0.7 candle light lens and modified Mitchell setup?
As noted elsewhere in this forum, it was Ed Di Giulio, who modified the Mitchell camera and adapted the Zeiss lens to allow the filming of Barry Lyndon by candle light alone!
