Getting a Mitchell Standard Ready for Shooting

September 16, 2022 / Cameras / 35mm, Fries Engineering, Mitchell Camera, Mitchell Camera Co, Mitchell GC, Mitchell Standard

Along with questions about threading a Mitchell camera, I have recently also been getting a number of questions about the proper way to clean and oil the movement in preparation for shooting. This short video demonstrates the method I was taught and have used successfully for many years. I hope it proves a useful resource for anyone who is interested.
