I've known Fred ever since I came to Vancouver, and have been interested in the photos he took in the city in the 50's and 60's for as long. He was head of the Biomedical Communications department at UBC for about 20 years. They had 4 Reprovit outfits and a couple of Aristophots along with about 20 Leicas. Later they also got Nikon Multiphots and such. Focomat II's and a couple of I's were also there. Made me drool when I visited him. :-) Last summer I got one of those complete Aristophot outfits with his help, including a couple of high mileage MDa's. He used a variety of cameras, but the majority of his 50's and 60's photos were taken with Leicas. In the late 60's he started using Nikons, and I remember when the 28/4PC came out and I was anxiously waiting for that he had ordered the 104/4 Micro and was waiting just as anxiously for that. In the 80's and early 90's he had a major project going photographing butterflies throughout the Americas. -- * Henning J.
