Hi Everyone,

I walked by our university library's new book shelf and saw a new coffee table book-sized retrospective "Fritz Henle: In search of beauty" by U of TX Curator of Photography, Roy Flukinger. Took it home and am now interested in finding more of Fritz's own books (China, Japan, Mexico, Casals etc.).

The book is a unique tribute to Rollei Photography. The issue of Henle's choice and strict faith to the Rollei comes up all the time. The books first and last images feature a life-sized front and back of the Rolleiflex 2.8 Planar Platinum "Fritz Henle" .

The book already got me to shoot more with my 3.5E last weekend in Plymouth, MA. Perhaps I am drawn to Henle because he grew up near my home area (Dortmund) and left Germany at about the same age as I did.
