Blake was there showing off Contax cameras, among other vendors. He had a sample print made with the S-Biogon and went on to extol it's virtues, lines/mm, etc. Said only Leica and Contax Zeiss glass would be worthy of using it. Otherwise, it's overkill because most other camera brands lenses don't have the resolution necessary to justify the expense. On the back of the sample print, I think it said something about the S-Biogon being used in making micro-circuits. Resolution is phenomenal! Also, I should tell you that in micro-circuitry I think they use UV light because the wavelength is smaller, or something like that. The print he had was of a building, showing the slide, then a full sized print then a miniscule portion blown up.
