Now lets get to the cosmetics. The camera is about as beautiful as a 2709 can get. The contrast of black paint, polished aluminum and polished brass makes the lens set on the turret jump out at you. The black body and the brass gages on the crank side of the camera really say that this is not only an extreme example of precision engineering but a fabulous example of metal art. This is a machine that did its job better than any other, and it shows. Throughout history there have always been high end cameras and then there was the exception. The one that stood above them all. Bell & Howell 2709 cameras were the exceptional one. They were coveted by all cameramen but they cost more than a house in the same period. Not every one could achieve the position of having a 2709.
