Mitchell BNCR Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Paramount Studios camera

This is a Mitchell BNCR camera from 1955. It is attributed to shooting Invasion of the Body Snatchers and while at Paramount Wings the TV series and Frasier. It must have worked many more movies and shows while at Paramount. It was the top of the line camera and I'm sure it was a workhorse at Paramount.

This is why I like this channel ! Thank you for showing us this marvel. Could you do another video showing in detail how the camera works ?

Bausch and Lomb and Cook were the most common.. Mitchell didn't make lenses when there were so many good lenses that could be put in a Mitchell mount.
