Thanks for looking, Bob!

There were actually two Friedlander exhibits: America by Car and New Cars, 
the latter being a collection of images of 1964 models in different 
surroundings. We really liked that one. As far as America by Car, we agreed 
that some editing would have been in order. There were some interesting 
images but also some mediocre ones, and too many similar ones.

The lens is this one:
