Well said, Stuart!Been talking to him, have you? I just find it funny when people tear dead people out of their graves to prove their arguments. It is a very popular pastime in US politics -- "The founding fathers wouldn't have supported gun control, the founding fathers don't think gays should marry etc etc" Who knows what Oskar Barnack would have liked? He could have been an old curmudgeon who refused to use anything other than his Leica IIIf, or maybe he would be a wedding videographer! Who cares?
The funniest thing I found on the web that gives a glimpse as to what Oskar Barnack might say (you articulated it nicely in the quoted portion) is this: http://homepage2.nifty.com/omboy/maitani_fan/maitani_letter.html
