He did talk about his equipment. While he used the 4x5 predominantly, he did use a 'blad sparingly, and eventually a Nikon. A shame too, as he could of easily used a leica. The dramatic dip in quality between his 4x5 and the 35mm work was/is painfully obvious. UCLA gave a series of lectures in the late 70's, of which he was own of the speakers, along with Hass (Leica), Duane Michaels (Nikkormat-then), etc. Slobodan Dimitrov Rolfe Tessem wrote: > > --On Sunday, March 23, 2003 6:25 AM +0000 Gerry Walden > <gwpics@ntlworld.com> wrote: > > > Currently on the Kodak professional web site is a wonderful portfolio of > > Arnold Newman's work.
