[Leica] 7-14 lens

[s.dimitrov at charter.net (Slobodan Dimitrov)]

I collect old news service photos. Up to the 60's, the shots were  
fairly standardized around the normal lens, either a 120 shot, or a  
4x5 shot. The archives of the mid-60's to the 70's, however, are  
replete with the photography of the 'young photographers'. A time  
when Nikons ruled, with their wide lenses and extreme telephotos.
Japanese Manufactures were quick to develop a better grade of extreme  
wide and telephoto lenses than that of the moribund Leica and Rollei  
years. The lenses became too good, and eventually it was hard to  
squeeze out a shot with an interpretive distortion.
It seems that the physics problems, that limit the manufacturing of  
the new extreme zooms, has brought back the ability to shoot in the  
mannerism of that earlier period.
