Re: Mitchell Cameras; ownership history

John, I found the other photo I had of BNC 10!!!! At least i believe it is #10 since it’s painted on the side door. I keep good records and did indicate I had 2 photos. It’s just my photo filing system leaves a bit to be desired! Although you will have to do some research as to what movie this photo...

Re: Mitchell Cameras; ownership history

Hello Martin,

I checked my personal records and did not find any information on your camera. I actually don’t have much of anything from Walt Disney Productions.

Re: Mitchell Cameras; ownership history

John, haha, I’ve spent many hundreds hours looking through photos and records over the years! I’ve been to the Herrick Library (which is actually the library of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences). I have spent days there looking through photos and records. Like I said, if I find ANY c...

Re: Mitchell Cameras; ownership history

John, I'm not sure if my pm message went through or not. I love in California in the San Francisco Bay area and the weather is not as bad as in many parts of the US. The pic I have shows it was a Warner Brothers production and has "10" painted on the side of the blimp. I can't tell, however your bli...

Re: Mitchell Cameras; ownership history

Re: Mitchell Cameras; ownership history

John, I have not had a chance to look at my records yet to see what I had previously found on BNC 10. You could also search on eBay and the Internet. Use various search terms like “MGM behind the scenes”, MGM Director, MGM Candid, and so on. I have found lots of pics on eBay as well as the Internet....

Re: Mitchell Cameras; ownership history

John, Thanks for sharing the photos! We love photos here so would like more from you. BNC 73 was in fact first sold to 20th Century Fox in 1948. Another cool artifact. When searching for the BNCs on sets, look below the camera for the lens box. They often had a set of lenses in a box that had the se...

Re: Mitchell Cameras; ownership history

John, Good evening from California. You are lucking to have a Mitchell camera from a major studio like MGM. As Ed touched on, your camera is pre 1927. It’s first buyer from Mitchell was MGM though so the date just may have been confused or mistaken over time. Unfortunately I have no filming history ...
