Jerry Thank you for the compliment.In 1966 I sold Kurshan and Lang to
Berkey Photo and we became Berkey K&L Color Services. I ran the company until
1982, leaving and forming Zoref Color Labs. Zoref was sold to LTI in 1996 and I
have been retired since then. The last time I used a Rollie was around 1965. I
still have the camera. My contribution to Rolliflex occured when Jack Callahan,
of Burliegh Brooks approached us with the problem of super slides. How could
they be mounted into slides? We put him in touch with Warren Condit (who made
all of our Dye Transfer Registration equipment) to design and manufacture the
equipment that was used for punching out the square pieces of film which was
put into the slide mounts. I do not remember you but do recall our
corresponding several years ago.
I am enjoying life in retirement, golfing, playing bridge, collecting Judaica
and cameras and doing what my wife tells me to do. I live on Long Island and
take advantage of everything New York has to offer. What about you? Len Zoref

Lenny Zoref was one of the finest gentlemen in the photo business that I
have ever met. A true artist in the Dye Transfer medium.
I left the employ of Kurshan, Lang & Zoref in 1953 when I received my
Masters degree in engineering.
