[Leica] HCB, Bischof & Leica

[Xavier Logean <xavier.logean@epfl.ch>]

Hi LUGgers,

One of my friend is very interested in detailed of
"History" of Photography, and as he has no access to Internet,
he asked me to post the following questions:

1) Is that true  that Cartier Bresson did use some non-Leica lense on
his Leica Body (50mm lens) ?
(I think somebody mentionned that on the list a few months ago ?)


2) What camera, except the Rolleis, did Werner Bischof use ?
      (Leica ?, other rangefinders camera ?)
(The reason of that question is that he saw a picture of Bischof with
two Rolleis, that he
identified, plus one other 24X36 camera. He did'nt succes to identify
it. He told me
that the back of the camera had a disk, (or something similar) like the
one on the back of the M6,
(to set the film speed). But the picture was older than the introduction
of the M3)

Any ideas ?

TIA,

Xavier
