mirror mirror on the wall what was the greatest rangefinder amera of them
all? at a party around 1960 i asked the two premier camera technicians of
all time in nyc to each write on a slip of paper w/o consulting one another
the camera they considered the greatest and that they would need only l of
to go around the world. the expected m-whatever wasnt there. both wrote
111f. when years later i asked the head of the time-life photo lab the same
question. he said they were camera repair people not photojournalist. his
all-time greatest: nikon S-3. oh yes those two all time great repairmen:
marty forscher and o.g.heinneman. ralph
