Great opportunity to hear from a titan of photographic history. And the interviewer, Hans-Ulrich Obrist, is simply amazing in his versatility of being able to draw out artists from any domain.

An interview of Czechoslovakian photographer Josef Koudelka which I am listening to tonight. At 22 minutes explaining how he happened by chance to be offered the 25 mm lens which he used exclusively for his work on the gypsies the ultra wide angle lens and this lens is East German Zeiss lens made by the East German Communist Jena factory behing the West German Wall of the German Democratic Republic, and it is a Zeiss Flektogon 25 mm f4 mounted on an Exakta Varex camera I have been very curious about which lens Koudelka may have used for those Gypsy photos because it they were with an ultra wide view and that thought preoccupied me for so many years and I never really knew which lens he used although I did have some guesses but I didn't want to speculate so I did find out recently and now he is confirming himself and 25 mm is more or less a 24 mm which is ultra wide.
