Wow!My old Nikon FTn accompanied me in Vietnam and Cambodia in '69 & '70. I was a combat photographer in the infantry:
I think it took this photo of me standing on a tank just inside Cambodia in the spring of 1970:
Looks like it was processed in a mud puddle. Might have been.š

Too bad you werenāt able to bring back that M3 youāve got thereā¦I think it took this photo of me standing on a tank just inside Cambodia in the spring of 1970:

Wow, what an "eye" you have! That was an M-2R and was US Army issued. I shot Tri-X mostly at āØ 8 at 1/500 with a 35mm abd most everything came out.

Nice - always wanted one. BTW is that lens auto or manual aperture?
It's an auto lens and the camera has auto aperture function, but no DOF preview. It hasn't got an auto-return mirror either, but the 1963 model had. But that's ok, the less that can go wrong, the better. I will probably get a prism finder for it, but I can see that it will cost me twice the amount I paid for camera and lens.
Love the multi colored rewind knob!
Love the 1911, what make is it? I own a Union Switch and Signal 1911A1 and nine Nikon F'sMy old Nikon FTn accompanied me in Vietnam and Cambodia in '69 & '70. I was a combat photographer in the infantry:

In '69 I was a USAF Combat Operations officer in a fighter wing.
You've got me beat! It's the 1911A1 Remington Rand made in 1944. It came back to the US from the ETO in a duffle bag that belonged to a 101st Airborne soldier. He got it just prior to jumping into Normandy.
Nay, lad. Not the camera. Didnāt even see that one. I refer to the M3 hanging off your right shoulder.
And, obviously, I didn't think about that! That old grease gun came in handy a few times.
