It's funny, that's a question that I have pondered as well.

Not only have camera manufacturers nearly abandoned fisheye lenses, they have abandoned bellows units, slide duplicators, bulk film backs for motor-driven cameras (amazing since today's cameras are even faster), interchangeable finders and high speed (large aperture) lenses).

I wonder why these features were necessary to be competitive in the '60's and '70's but no longer?
