I'm happy to be corrected - his work seems to need a wider variety of
focal lengths than you'd use on a rangefinder.  Still, I'm sure he's not
a saint. If someone at Solms said hold this, we'll take a pic and you
can have it, he'd probably hold a 7 too!

I saw a documentary on him and he claimed to only using Rs - he had
what looked like 3 R6s with about 4 or 5 lenses. It was wonderful
watching him use the cameras. If I remember the name of the film I
will pass that on - it was coincided with the making of his 'Workers'
book.


Cheers,

Dave
