Andre;
Yes, I used to frequent Ewerts quite often, their HQs being right in the
heart of Silicon Valley. I met the owner, John Ewert, because I once had
a print exhibition there. He had a great knowledge of camera history
and lore and was very helpful to me. The reason there is no more Ewerts
is a sad story. If you want to know, contact me offline.
