Well before my first Leica, I saw the difference daily as a darkroom printer
in Sweden's largest publishing company. Some negatives under the Focomat IIc
enlarger had a unique sharpness and range of contrast. It was as if there
were more shades of gray in the negative. As I began to associate negs with
photographers and cameras, that "look", I discovered, was from Leicas. Of
course, those were lenses of 35 years ago, but it is the reason I still have
Leicas and not Nikons today.
