Combined Force of Communist and Islamic Rebels

On assignment for the "L.A. Times," to verify whether the communists and Muslim rebels were indeed cooperating in the Southern Philippines. My go-to camera, a Canon F1n failed me when, focusing the lens, it came in half in my hands! Focusing helicoid unscrewed itself. Fortunately, I carried a bail-out camera, a little plastic autofocus Canon loaded with random Spanish black and white film, just in case. That rig got me this.
