Speaking Frankly: The Contrary Mind of Hirofumi Kobayashi
By Herbert Keppler
April 2006

You gotta go read this. Great stuff. Also, a kudos passed from Keppler to Steven Gandy, very cool.

Warning: anti-FID types will find much joy here - Keppler disses digital.

Best Regards,

Bill: Loved the article. Re-affirmed my recent decision to buy a Bessa R with the 35/2.5 Color Skopar. Camera works fine (especially with the addition of the sidegrip) and the lens is a stunner.

(I get carried away now and then, but it's a hell of a buy for the money)

I usually don't like PopPhoto, but I liked that article. More respect for Cosina! I wrote some thoughts on it here:
