Most of the cameras shown in use by Capa were Contax, though many Rolleis and few Leicas were shown. It was the story and his photos that interested me, not his gear. When I was a teenager, he was my idol. He autographed a picture I took of him at Oscar Heinemann's shop. Cigarette in mouth of course!
