Bell & Howell Filmo 70DR

The Bell & Howell Filmo 70DR is a hand-cranked 16mm cine camera, part of the long-running Filmo 70 series of spring-wound professional motion picture cameras introduced in the early 20th century. It was aimed at newsreel, documentary, and advanced amateur use, with a three-lens turret for interchangeable optics.

Sales data for the Filmo 70DR is thin, but a recorded UK auction hammer price in late 2025 sat at £200, giving a current reference value of roughly £200 at saleroom level. As of 2026, what a Filmo 70DR sells for in today's market depends heavily on mechanical condition and whether usable lenses are fitted to the turret, so the price a clean, working example fetches at auction can vary either side of that figure.
