I would say that his best known images were 1930s and 1940s, what choice of
equipment was there then? If you did not need slow shutter speeds or flash
why change?

I agree with your sentiments but I cannot agree with your conclusions,
sorry. Why was HCB able to take such timeless photographs with
equipment we would all consider 'outdated'. He is most often known for
using an M4 with a collapsible summicron, but I'm sure he used all
manner of equipment over his lifetime. And I'm sure he peered at his
negatives with a loupe like we peer at our pixels on our laptop or our
iPad.
