Hello,
My name is Bill Proctor, Megwetch (thanks) for adding me.
I served a tour and a half as a US Army
Combat Motion Picture Photographer(MOS 84G) in Vietnam, 1966-1967.
I trained at the US Army Pictorial Center in Astoria New York in 1965-1966, Which is now the Kaufman Astoria Motion Picture Studios.
I currently own two Beaulieu 6008S super 8 cameras, one Canon Scoopic 16mm that I used in Vietnam, one Bell and Howell 70 D 16mm camera. A Zoom F-4 Field Sync recorder, A Tentacle Sync Generator.
A bunch of film editing equipment. A new Elmo GS_800 projector, A GOKO RM 80008 Recording Viewer/Editor...A GOKO RM-3 Recording Editor/Viewer(which I've posted on this forum for sale).
As you can see I am serious about my film making. Nothing is for sale except the GOKO RM-3 Recording Editor/Viewer.
Bill

Megwetch (thanks)...Osi..
I spent a year at the US Army Pictorial Center and was trained on everything from 16mm to the big Mitchell 35mm Optical sound motion picture cameras..
I carried a Canon Scoopic in the field while in Vietnam along with a pack full of batteries and 16mm film and a Colt .45acp semi-automatic pistol with plenty of ammo.
I still have the Canon Scoopic I used in Nam and also a 35mm Pentax Spotomatic I used on several LRRPS teams. I now use the lenses from the Spotomatic as Prime lenses on my Beaulieu cameras..
Anyway..that's a little of my background.
