From the thumbnail it looks this man is holding a machine gun.
Anyway it’s great to see how telephotos looked like back in the age of film-only photography.
Telephoto changed a lot since 1912 specially in size!
Wow, we have it easy with our digital cameras that we can sling over a shoulder… Thanks so much for sharing this.
That’s some set-up!
Great one!.Hard conditions to shoot.
