The amazing thing about this recent discussion about European history, circa 19-Pre Pentax, is how different the views are depending on whether you live in Europe, with first hand knowledge of history, or America, with at best, second hand knowledge.
History books and Encyclopedias are written by the victors, in language that makes them look as good a possible. It has always been this way, and is why much of history books and encyclopedias cannot really be trusted to tell more than a biased version, expressing some facts, and forgetting others, giving some opinions as truth, ignoring others as lies. Can we get back to bitching about the *ist lens mount now please? William Robb
