I'm working on a WW2 novel, where the protagonists are all photographers.
My main characters are the Englishman Eric Gilchrist, using Reed 35s,
the German Werner Erler, using Contaxes, and the Japanese Nishiko
tachihara (and no one has been able to tell me what Domei issued to its
people, recognizing most of the "great ones" are postwar -- perhaps
Kwannons?) Any Ideas?
As my teacher was a man like this, American Lester Wilson, who used Speed
graphics and lost a leg at Iwo Jima, I way well work in a bunch more...
Capa shows up, as do Steichen and Duncan...
If I get something pertinent up , I may post a few pages... It'll have
to have Rollei's in it.
BTW, I have a Cord Vb -- and its always been pretty good. the 75mm
Triotar is supposed to be "trash" but I've had nice luck with it -- tho
it is lower contrast than newer lenses. What do folks think of the
'Cords?
