Hi,
Looking for some advice.
I've been working as a low budget slave/gaffer/monkey for the past
five odd years, saving my pennies, eating Ramen noodles and I am
now edging closer to purchasing a 35mm camera.
Happened upon this:
Mitchell BNCR Camera Package
PACKAGE INCLUDES:
(4) 1000 ft. magazines
Crystal motor
CCD flicker-free video assist
20-120 Angenieux zoom lens
Mattebox
Follow focus
Lens light
Battery
Previously owned and maintained by Paramount studios.
Asking price: $9900.00
This is just about in my range. Anybody shot with this guy? I know its big, but
is it PSR BIG? The lens probably isn't so swell, is it? I can upgrade later, but not
for many moons. It's variable speed (up to 120fps) but how consistant? Is the
registration rock steady? Basically, is this a good camera for a first time owner.
Very familiar with Arri BL's, 435, etc. How similar? Any loading issues? What
else should I be concerned with this camera? Is it worth the asking price?
Probably too many questions, but I would like opinions aside from the vendor's.
Enlighten me oh wise men ;) ,
Tony
