I was shocked to just now that he'd just died.
Though I was shocked to see a year ago that he was still alive;
And working at Olympus still. And a man of great humor as well as genius.
There are websites on him at least two to find out all about him and what he
did.
I leaned a simple thing from him at least.
A small format camera should be small.
