Bell & Howell Filmo 70J

The Bell & Howell Filmo 70J is a hand-cranked 16mm cine camera, part of the Filmo 70 family of spring-driven motion picture cameras that Bell & Howell produced from the 1920s onward for amateur and professional cinematography.

Auction data for the Filmo 70J is thin: the only verified UK saleroom hammer result on file is £312 from a 2007 Christie's sale, so a meaningful current price range cannot be quoted with confidence as of today. Buyers asking what a Filmo 70J is worth in 2026 should treat that figure as historic context rather than a guide to what the model sells for now, since condition, completeness of lenses and turret, and working spring motors drive value far more than the model designation alone.
