Rightfully so as he was a pioneer in photographic techniques as well as a master photographer and printer. So he was not only "dobro", he was "oshen horosho". Leica used to send him a new camera every time a new model was introduced. When Leica stopped the practice, he turned to Nikon and received free cameras and lenses. He bequeathed his extensive portfolio to Brooks Institute. Joe - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
