Bob,

Great Pictures! If I may ask? What kind of camera do you use?

Hi.

Bob, are all acquired in Australia?

[Bob Lyons]

Hi Guys,

Thanks you, Joel, the camera is a Fujifilm S5500 digital, and with a bit of cropping using the macro lens the shots

come out ok, using natural lighting.

Yes, most of the items in these shots were picked up here in Australia, the Panzer-Grenadier cap and the tan Heer

M40 were brought back to Australia by Aussie servicemen who had served in North Africa. The rest were from local

collectors.

Cheers

Bob

Bob,

I just picked up my first DAK item. Here is my Second Pattern Pith I just picked up.... You need one in your pictures! LOL! Certainly witness the antiquity of not only the Helmet but the picture quality of my camera.

Regards,

Joel
