Right on! I'm sure many of us who love these products for the quality 
of the images produced know enough about Leitz history to 
recognize who Max Berek is. By the way, once you ever see his 
picture with that infamous moustache, you'll never forget him, but of 
course that's irrelevant to the debt of gratitude we owe him every 
time we pick up one of these extraordinary lenses.
