Last I corresponded with Bob he had moved to Texas and was working on the
design of a restaurant--for his wife's family I think. He'd moved into Le*ca
rangefinderdom, though still kept a few of his treasured Zuikos. I bought
his 18/3.5 and 35 shift, both superb examples. Super nice guy. I just tried
to e-mail him about the Reid Review featuring his old lens, but the message
bounced back.
