Submitted for your approval, a mid-20th century Mitchell BNC feature film camera converted by the F&B CECO company of New York to a BNCR Pellicle Reflex camera and eventually leased to Paramount Studios in Hollywood for shooting many feature films and episodic Television.

Last owned and used by an IMDb well known film director who shot several feature films with it. A poster of one of his films will be included. His name will be released by request.
