Been out of the loop for a number of days at a funeral . . .
Cartier-Bresson used a variety if L*ica's.
Robert Capa used a pre-war Contax II through WWII and beyond although he
also picked up a Nikon RF at some point after WWII. When he died in French
Indochina (now Viet Nam) in 1954 (stepped on a land mine), he had the
Contax II and a Nikon RF around his neck. Capa also used a pre-war
Rolleiflex TLR . . . he landed on D-Day with his Contax II and Rolleiflex.
