i had the good fortune of assisting Eve about 18 yrs ago when she was
working on the book On America after the success of her China book...

was using Nikons... 

i knew she had been a Leica gal during her film stills days - after a few
days of long lens use, it was obvious why she changed.  200's, zooms (she
said they're good enough, the hell with the purists!), you name it.

wonderful memories of her ability to go up to Anyone and get them to work
with her.  she would charm them, and then get them to really work with/for
her.
