Continuing our Staff Appreciation Month here at Duclos Lenses, we'll be taking a few posts to acknowledge our hard working crew that strive to provide unrivaled service to the world's cinematographers. Moving on to Greg - one of our most experienced technicians, Greg started out at Alan Gordon Enterprises in 1967 where his love for lenses began in the R&D department, remounting lenses and making focus sub assemblies for Super Baltars and Angenieux lenses. In 1971 he moved to F&B Ceco in Hollywood where he started to learn lens repair for all kinds of lenses under the guidance of Kenji Sumatsu. Greg took a big turn in his career when he took a position as a Lens Technician at Angenieux Service in 1973, receiving factory training in France. Greg worked with professionals in the film and television industries and trained many people, helping them improve the lenses used in motion pictures. It was then that he met Paul Duclos, a fellow Angenieux service technician on the East coast. After a brief break from technician work, Greg returned to the lens service world, contacting Paul Duclos who was, at the time, the head of the lens department at Clairmont Camera and offered Greg a position as lens technician. Greg remained at Clairmont Camera until 2004 when he moved to Panavision Woodland Hills in the R&D department. After leaving Panavision in 2012, Greg accepted a position as a Senior Lens Technician at Duclos Lenses where he works to this day. Greg's experience and knowledge are an invaluable addition to our organization. There are few technicians that possess the level of skill that Greg does. The span of his experience and his ability to tackle just about any lens problem make him a truly unique individual and a wealth of knowledge that he's always happy to share with his colleagues. Duclos Lenses is lucky to have such a great technician among their staff.

Continuing our Staff Appreciation Month here at Duclos Lenses, we'll be taking a few posts to acknowledge our hard working crew that strive to provide unrivaled service to the world's cinematographers. Next up is Laura. An artist from a very young age, Laura took up photography at the recommendation of her father who gave her a Canon AE-1. There was no turning back. Her pursuit for photography and studio art continued throughout high school and college. After college, Laura freelanced as a camera assistant on a wide variety of shoots for several years and enjoyed working in the camera department. In an ongoing pursuit for knowledge and the cinema process, Laura took a position at an established Hollywood rental house as a prep tech where she learned the inner workings of the motion picture equipment rental business. Soon after, she joined Warner Brothers Studios as an executive assistant where she worked for several years. The production life was exciting and different, but she longed to get back to the hands-on environment. A longtime DoP friend suggested that she apply for the Junior Lens Tech position at Duclos Lenses. Laura joined our team and quickly began learning the basics. Her mechanical aptitude and diligent work ethic allowed her to breeze through our apprentice position and climb the ranks to a full fledged Lens Technician. Today, Laura serves as our Service Advisor, evaluating a wide range of incoming lenses, drafting service estimates, and interfacing with customers to ensure they receive the absolute best results possible. Her ever-increasing skill and professionalism continue to provide Duclos Lenses and the motion picture industry with outstanding results, the likes of which we take great pride in and look forward to encouraging for many years to come.
