[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have fond memories of attending a Walter Benser lecture some 40 or more years ago when he presented a slide show using about 6 Leica projectors with a dissolve unit. The show was presented by Agfa and I am sure that he had shot everything on Leica. The show entranced me and from then on I have always wanted to produce fine photographs. It also made me very fond of Agfa materials, although they are more difficult to buy despite the UK being part of the EU. And needless to say it also made me lust after Leica cameras but it was many years before this lust was fulfilled. At that time I was shooting on a Kodak 44A using 127 film, very soon to be traded for a 35mm Cosmic made in Russia with a surprisingly good Industar lens. Waler will be sadly missed although his approach may by many seem very old-fashinoned now! Gerry - www.gwpics.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
