Re: History of BNC mount

Dom, Welcome. If you check the serial numbers tab at the top right, you will find that 86 BNC' s were made before 1950. The first one was made for Sam Goldwyn in 1934 from an unsold NC.

Re: "Buying a Mitchell Camera" guide

Here's the deal: Was stated that "a Mitchell with a hand crank proves that the camera is old, right?" WRONG . Every Mitchell camera featuring an external motor has the abil...

Re: Mitchell Standard S/n 100 Warner Bros for sale

A nice early Mitchell find! It should be noted here that the actual dating and information for this camera has been corrected on the E-Bay listing but not here. Correction is: this is a late 1927 camera purchased by First National which was soon absorbed by Warners. Remarkable that at that late date...
