OK, who can recognize him!? :D

Maybe the greatest Nikon RF user, at least in my opinion! :)
 
Experienced photographers tend to not hold their elbows out in a wing-like fashion ... it makes it too difficult to hold the camera steady. So I assumed he wasn't a photojournalist. Then, I saw the glasses and haircut.

Of course, I also spent a number of months in Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia and Slovenia last decade, so I've seen many many pictures of Tito (but never a picture as cool as the one you posted). I had no idea he owned an SP.
 
This Nikon SP was (probably) owned by National Geographic photographer. He was impressed by Tito's knowledge and handling of (his) quality camera-equipment. The reportage about Tito's Yugoslavia was published in NG magazine around 50/60 of the previous century. Probably soon after split with Stalin's Soviet Union. Well, maybe my assumption is not correct.

Regards &
Lep pozdrav Nikoli v Dalmacijo!
 
A National Geographic photographer probably would not have used the dreaded "Never-ready" ever-ready case.

The photograph looks to have been taken in the mid-1960s. Does Nikola know where it came from?
 
It was the glasses that gave it away for me. (That, plus the fact Nikola is based in Croatia -- Josip Broz was Croatian, I believe.)
