He designed BOTH the camera AND the lens!?! I BING'd him and was not able to pick him out of the Helmut M?ller crowd. The idea of going half frame they just could not seem to abide by heck we could have had 72 on the roll and get a lot more verticals. Competed with Barnacks original concept pleasantly? Just not compact enough to justify the loss of acreage? I love my Olympus Pen but the glass was a joke. Its fun to look at on my shelf but I hated to waste time trying to make images with the stuff. You can actually put Leica m glass on the stuff the flange distance was that skinny!!. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography mark at rabinergroup.com > From: Geoff Hopkinson <hopsternew at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2010 10:28:21 +1000 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: [Leica] Was EVIL at Photokina NOW Leicaflex 18x24 > > Here you go Mark, the very first hit on Google.
