Hi all !
I have made the desicion to sell these two lenses. Reason for sale is
that i´d like to finance some other photography equipment by doing this.
Also, i have the same lenses in screwmount, and for an unknown reason i
tend to use the screwmounts more. I believe these would sell at eBay,
Interesting article, and a nice set of photos.
I know someone who studied with Avedon under Brodovitch in the 1940s. He
says it was clear even then that Avedon was a big star and a huge talent. He
was definitely Brodovitch's favourite.

Bob
