A stupendous article with amazing illustrations by Ed Schwartzreich about German photographer Alfred Tritschler. What an interestingly different perspective for us Leicaphiles to be getting into this whole thing! Clue: has a lot to do with Volkwagens. And most meaningful to us Lugnuts our Tom Abrahamsson and Henning Wolf put together a comparison on 4 21's. 2 1/4 Cosina/Voigtländer 12/3.5 Ricoh 21/3.4 Super-Angulon 21/2.8 Elmarit Aspherical Right here worth the price of admission. A shot Henning did with the 21 Super-Angulon really close of a Momma Goose and two chicks looks like it was done with a 50. A 75 even! I'm enamored with the idea of shooting with that 21/3.4 Super-Angulon. I may go there first before the more obvious (for me) choice of the 21/2.8 Elmarit Aspherical.
