That was a very good report, Jan. Fritz Henle did
similar commentaries about some of the reasons he was
captivated for the TLR at the beginning of the 30's.
Joe Lin from Taiwan integrated the old RUG, he has
lots of cameras including the Wide Angle and the FW.
The URLs for these camera photographs and phtographs
taken using these cameras here (it's necessary to
scroll the pages):

All the best
