Ahh Mr. Phreak :-)  - I never said he only used Leica cameras.

The point being he was well known for his use of Leica R's especially (and I
huge fan of Kodachrome II - I seem to recall reading that when it was
discontinued he froze a large stock of it).

Can't find my copy of "Creation" right now (it must be in the basement - I'm
not THAT big a fan! In fact, as much as I like the way he, to some extent,
brought colour in out of the cold, I actually prefer his black and white
work...)

That's interesting, considering their format. Marc - any comments on the
Rollei stuff?
