Salgado uses 3 M6 OR 3 R6.2 (when he must quickly work, he do prefer the M).
He don't like to change the lens. this is the reason why he prefere to take
3 cameras. On his M6, He mounts 28, and summicrons 35 and 50. On R6.2, he
mounts 28, summicron 35 and 60.The 60 is for him a portrait lens. Sometimes,
he uses his 70-180 zoom, but not a lot.

All these informations in french magazines ( Photo and Réponse Photo), one
or two months ago

Hope this helps.
