Coming into this discussion quite late, but it

"Photo Data" to his book This is War David
Douglas Duncan tells the story of his discovery
of the quality of the early Nikkor lenses and
his subsequent use of them on his Leica
III. Had he a reason to fabricate such a story for his book?
As already noted, yes. Duncan had committed
himself early and hard to the Nikon-is-superior
school and it would have required him to hope
into his chariot and ride it frantically around
the arena backwards to be able to retract his
earlier stories. He had gone international on
this in his initial fights with the Tokyo photo-editors in JUN 1950.
