As a teenager I used to wander through Peerless and other famous large camera shops in NYC, dreaming about the cameras I would someday own. Standing by the used camera section at Peerless I witnessed the salesperson showing a few old, black screw-mount Leicas and lenses to a potential customer. I overheard the cameras being described as "just traded in by the photographer, Alfred Eisenstadt". The customer wasn't interested in them because they looked well-used. I agreed with him, and walked to the darkroom department to buy some D-76. Ed
