Arthur, you might want to try to dig up a copy of I PROTEST! by DDD. It was his coverage of the siege at Khe Sahn, Vietnam. Quite good. LUG folk might be interested part of his acknowledgements..... "Once again, I depend upon two Leicas (custom-built M3Ds), cross bandolier-style on my chest. One Leica is fitted with a Leitz 50mm F1.4 Summilux lens, and the other with a Canon 25mm F3.5 lens. Both lenses are fitted with medium yellow filters. In addition--hanging down the center of my chest--I carry a Nikon F with a Nikor (that's how he spelled it--JF) 200mm F4 lens, also fitted with a medium yellow filter. The film is Kodak Tri-X, developed in Kodak D-76 at he LIFE Magazine photo-lab in New York."
