Petri 7S 45mm 2.8

This is the exact same model camera that I shot all of the B&W photos with and a few color at Cubi Point, P.I. I recently found this one on ebay and could not pass it up.The seller determined that it was made in 1963 which would place us both over there at the same time.

Canon EOS 1Ds ,Canon EF 28-70mm f/2.8L USM
1/160s f/9.0 at 70.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Your gallery sent me back to 1967~69 when I was at MCAS Iwakuni.
I got there as a pilot/RIO with VMFA 323 on refit rotation from Chu-Lai, but I had a bad ejection from Bu # 151410 in the inland sea off MCAS and found myself grounded from combat ops, so I went back to the world for retraining as an ATC Officer.
Guess what, Yup, the Corps sent me back to MCAS Iwakuni as the Tower Officer for MATCU 60.
I came back stateside in 69 on emergency leave orders.
I've been back to Iwakuni while on business a couple of times in the last 30+ years, and boy, has the base changed.
Anyway, Semper-Fi and a good job.
