Hello everyone, 

I took a workshop last October with Harvey and he showed slides from his
Cuba book. He used M6's with a 35 asph summilux for the great majority of
shots. He used the 50 summilux for the night shots and a few others. The 28
even less. He used a Vivitar 2800 with a universal diffuser for flash shots.

He's been using Leicas since he was a teenager and while I think he
experimented with other stuff years ago, he hasn't recently used a Nikon
100.

Nowadays he says he's really trying to adhere to the HBC model of one
camera, one lens, and in his case it's the 35.

Cheers,

Craig 

ps--Ted, I'm trying to figure out how you physically place 3M's and 3R's on
your body in a position that you can function! I mean, logistically, how do
you do it? Where do you place them? I get overwhelmed with 3 cameras,
period! I'm serious, isn't it totally confusing, or at least back breaking?

Respectfully,

Craig
