Whether I can emulate his artistic side is a bit out of my reach. But I do like the "look" of his and Capa's images, so I'm searching around for some vintage lenses. I was considering getting an old 50/3.5 Elmar and am glad that I didn't. The elements are too small for John Van Stelten to polish! Right now, the 50/3.5 Heliar is closest to the retro look in a contemporary lens.
