Many shots were taken with a 300mm on his 8x10 which is considered normal focal length for this size film. Some taken with 10 in. (wide angle) and some taken with 19 in. (slightly long). I can't remember any reference to anything longer than 19 (480mm) so this may be the longest lense he had for the 8x10. I really don't know what he used during the later years on his Hasselblad except for one of his most famous shots taken on Hassey with a 250C (the one in Examples). I just remembered...that book also has a Hassey shot taken at White Sands with a 50mm. To bring this back on topic, did you know that he used a Leica during the last year or two of his life? Anyone know if it was M or R? Best regards, Alan Net-Tamer V 1.11.2X - Registered
