He went to the national political conventions, either in 68 or 72. He shot only Tri-x, and there is one page on which he talks about the 400 Telyt and how it is unusual that a piece of equipment can be credited with really making a difference in a photographers work. I have hand held the 560 at a 15th with good results...not every time, but some of the time. I never have figured out why, because I sure can't do that with any other lens. Also, the Telyts are optically way beyond any other lens I've ever used of that focal length. They are slow, but you usually need the depth of field anyway.
