  1. I've long been a fan of the Sony 6 MP CCD sensor in the D70, Pentax DS, and Epson R-D1. The OOC JPEGs on the DS look very nice to my eye, on the "neutral" setting. Keep the ISO down and you just might be pleasantly surprised at the image quality.

  2. The tank appears to be an M48A2 or M48A2C Patton Tank which fits the late 1950s time frame.

     

    Actually that is the distinctive unit insignia and motto of the 11th US (Armored) Cavalry Regiment, the "Blackhorse Regiment".

     

    They were stationed in Germany in 1957-64, before going to Vietnam in 1966

     

    Thanks Rick, that's great information. I will contact the Blackhorse Association (blackhorse.org) and offer the images to them. The gents in the photo would be in or near their eighties by now.
