Subject: [Leica] Leica Photog. in Automobile Magazine

I saw an interesting article in Automobile Magazine called "Lord of the Leica" about an racing photographer named Louis Klemantaski who, as the title suggests, used Leica cameras. The archive he sold after retiring in 1982 contained 60,000 photographs(!).  There are a few interesting parts in the article such as when Klemantaski states that he, "lost interest when it became a matter of who had the longest lens".  The article is mainly of interest to Leica aficionados interested in vintage auto racing, etc.
