The combination of the excellent large-field imaging capabilities of Schmidt telescopes and of prisms covering the full aperture has made an impact on stellar, galactic, and extragalactic astronomy far out of proportion to the numbers of such telescopes. I discuss some of the milestones in the continuing development of this combination with a view to signposts of the future.
