I bought yet another Bell & Howell 414 zoomatic Director Series through eBay. It has not arrived yet. I am pretty dissapointed that I didn't notice that the camera did not have the power zoom feature. So much for trying to buy the exact Zapruder model. I'm giving up on it for now, because I have found a superior camera. On to that.
I was Google shopping and came across something I never knew existed. It is a reflex (which means what you see through the view finder is exactly what you are getting through the lens. The problem with Bell & Howell cameras is that they never put te model number on the camera body or even inside the film chamber. So, we'll call this camera the Bell & Howell Zoomatic Director Reflex.
The camera was probably extremely expensive in 1962- geared more toward semi-prfessional film makers. I am urged to state that it might be worth $2,000 - $3,000 or more, if it were new on today's market. This particular model is promised to work. I'll go more into depth and provide pics of the camera once it gets here. I am extremely excited.ent so that is profw to format the docum
I am also working on my screenplay, which is proving to be extremely simple! I hsve s great book that has shown me how to format the document and make it look professional.
All my best to you fellow film makers out there.
Josh
