Well, as Mr. Harvey says, his first assignment was with the IIIF and the
50mm lens. The assignment was to photograph a man who flies model
airplanes. He kept asking him to get the plane closer to the ground so he
could get the guy and his plane both in the same picture. You can guess
what happened!

Sometimes lens choice can be disastrous! :-)
