Comment
- History - This lens has a interesting history and came close to never existing as a viso lens. Walther Benser gave lectures on Leica cameras with projection of slides before WWII. He used this lens on his projector. Then he was inducted into the German army, ended up as a photographer and was deep in the Caucasus when the Russians won the battle of Stalingrad. This meant that the Caucasus had to be evacuated by the German army. Walther was almost captured but made it out to Rostov. If captured this lens would never exist because he convinced Ernest Leitz II to make the lens for the Visoflex system. DannyBell
