What kind of equipment?

Big sign which says "Press" and an armor plated kevlar vest... along with saline solution.

Cameras don't matter - as long as it has a lens and shoots faster than 1 fps, I'm fine.

Whats so amazing is most of the images taken during WW2, Korea and Vietnam were taken using standard lenses.. These guys are either nuts or just brave..

Tim Page is my favourite war photographer out of Vietnam..
