Leica History of the Bertele Sonnar

[Bar8barian]

I have recently come across a very informative article about the history of the "Sonnar" lens and thought that it might be of interest to other members who are interested in "Sonnar" lenses.
The article is in Italian but Google Chrome on Windows will translate it into English.
