Gerald Hsu  I saw the Everest Imax at a showing where David Breshears was
speaking.  It was a fund raiser for our local science Museum.  excellent
talk.  While everyone was hanging on every word ( as i was) when he came
into the audience to meet and greet those of us contributing to the fund
raiser my only question what still cameras were used.  He said " you know
Leicas, Cannons and Nikons"  a PC answer i suppose unless you shoot Minolta
then you might have been offended.  Anyway I never got more of an answer
than that.  We do know that Contax was the camera of Sir Edmund Hilary/
Norgay expedition of '53.
