Covers of old American Cinematographer magazines
Hello members! Over the years I have seen some great classic productions shot of Mitchells on the cover of American Cinematographer. Sorry but these are ratty tatty scans, mostly from eBay auctions, but I thought I would share a few as many of us love them so much. Now, if you want to see some high ...

The futuristic Mitchell Robot Focus Control - 1960
It must of seemed very futuristic to have a “robot” focus your BNC from a 25 foot electrical cable! We may laugh now, but in 1960 it was like the space age had truly arrived. This accessory first appeared in a product catalog which stated that you must first mount a “slave selsyn” component on the c...

I know of several people who collect these handbooks and have a large nu...

Re: Mitchell Vistavision Camera #29
OK so this isn't VistaVision #29 but still great hero shots from the icollector web site. I just can't get enough of this fantastically designed but odd looking machine!

Re: Mitchell BNC #279 plus Worrall for sale in the UK
Hello members. This ad is current as I just talked with Brain in the UK. He sent a picture and I have asked him to send more. He also mentioned that he has had several offers but when it comes to the shipping, that seems to be the sticking point. As we all know, a Mitchell is very heavy! Anyway, the...

After all, this camera had a very long production life and I'm sure it shoot miles of film using its new mot...

Sam Dodge YouTube demo of 1922 Mitchell Standard #5
Sam Dodge states that this is more than a camera, it is an artifact. Indeed this Mitchell Standard is near priceless as they don't get much more rare than this. Hard to believe that Sam really found Mitchell Standard number 5 but there it is right on the Mitchell acorn. Sam closes with the line, "an...
