I bumped into a platoon of the 82nd Airborne Living History Association doing a training exercise. These guys were incredibly conscientious about the accuracy of their uniforms and equipment. They had a number of books with them to gauge their correctness. When I looked through some of the books I noticed that a lot of the images were made with a 35mm. Probably unauthorized personal shots, as at that time the official camera of the day was the Speedgraphic, or some other knock off. It made me debate internally whether to go back to my car and get the Leica out, or the TLR so as to stay in period with them. I had with me the Rollei SLR. As I was already at the 8-9 roll into it, I decided to finish up with the SLR. they were really good about it, as I literally crawled all over them. After printing what I need, I'll give the guys the extras for their website. If they post them I'll the list know. http://www.mypage.onemain.com/db1014476/db1014476.html Slobodan Dimitrov
