Nice. I was about to say, "that was the go everywhere movie camera" of it's day, but you beat me too it.

That camera, 10 film canisters, an M16 rifle and extra ammunition added up to 10 percent of my body weight back in 1969. It might have been a go anywhere camera, but getting it there was hell.

No, but had a buddy who was. And by coincidence, he ended up as a photographer as well.
