I bought a used Leica lens back in "those" days from a guy who was 
the industrial photographer for a large aircraft manufacturer. The 
company was buying him a complete professional C*n*n system to 
complement the Hasselblad system he had already been provided.  He 
let me look through about a 2 inch stack of black and white prints 
from his his most recent work with both the L**ca and the H'blad. 
They were mostly 8x10 and 11x14.  Both sizes were printed from both 
negative sizes. I could not tell which camera took which picture 
until he told me.
