Just read a book by English explorer Wilfred Thesiger:
"Among the Mountains" - complete with lots of b&w
plates of his travels in Afghanistan, Karakorum,
Kurdistan etc in the 1950's. Shot on a Leica II with a
50mm and some portraits with a 90mm.
Incredible sharpness, and he only recently pulled the
negs out of the box for publication. Worth a look,
very enjoyable writing too. Check it out on Amazon.com
where you can see the cover photo:

...or try to pick up a copy.
