Having paused over several months to check the attributions of
particularly memorable photographs in highly regarded U.S. daily
newspapers, I find much more frequently than not that they are
from A.F.P. or Reuters.  Even covering domestic events. Only
rarely are A.P., N.Y.T., etc. the source. 

Is there any particular equipment used, whether Leica or not, by
photographers for A.F.P. and Reuters that would explain their
seemingly greater ability to capture the moment??
