Subject: [Leica] Nikon S3 war

Photographers during the Korean war traded thier Leica lenses for the much 
better Nikon lenses during that time.  Is this a new war between Leica and 
Nikon.  Can Nikons rangefinder optics be better than Leica's.  I havent made 
a comparision between Leica vs Nikon rangefinder lenses from the Korean war 
period but just have read accounts of the switch especially David Douglas 
Duncan and other Life photographers.  Any one have a first hand account.
