Isn't Carl Zeiss like the Luxottica of camera lenses? I think I heard someone say somewhere that if it's a plain old digital camera, it probably has Zeiss lenses. Speaking of lenses that are old and scratched and full of character, is it possible to put them on modern cameras? I figure you'd get a more genuine blur/scratch result than anything Photoshop could do. As for Land, I wonder if people gossiped about him when he was away working for the government. I don't know much about space equipment or military devices, but the idea that one guy could be a lynch pin figure during the Cold War in such a way is so exciting to think about. That'd put him really high up there in importance in American history and I really feel like we're doing him a disservice by not talking about him. I might have to pick up a boom about the Cold War. Know any easy reads?
