It is because of guys like this with equipment like this that we have so many high quality photographs from World War II. The original caption for this photo reads: “PhoM1c E.S. Ujvarosy and PhoM1c R.M. Rhodes check their cameras, magazines, and data sheets before taking off on a mission in a Navy PB4Y photo reconnaissance plane. An aerial photographer must be able to operate all types of aerial cameras, a few of which are shown here. Left to right: F56-40”, two K-18’s 24”, K-17-12” and a K-17-06”. Lying on its side is vertical view finder.”
