Are you sure of this?  I know that C-B settled finally on a collapsible Summicron.  And I was under the impression that
his earlier lenses were Leica 50's -- Elmars and Summitars, I assumed.  He occasionally used 35's and 90's -- again, I'd
always heard these were Leica lenses.

Winogrand, now, used a Canon 50/1.4 LTM on his Leica M (as do I, much of the time).

cheers,
