As it turns out, Ansel Adams did become attached to the Leica R system a year 
or so before his death. His "Autobiography" includes an anecdote at Point 
Lobos of an incident while reloading his R4. Interestingly enough, despite 
the built in capabilities of the camera, Adams continued to use a spotmeter 
to determine exposure.
