I'm new to the LUG and hope to stick around for a while! 
I have some questions concerning Magnum/NG photographer Alex Webb, whose 
work I admire greatly.
Is there anyone who knows and/or had the chance to see him working to 
tell me what are his favorite optics, film and equipment in general?
From some sources I gather he uses M6 Leicas and K64. I wonder whether he 
used other emulsions (RVP/RDP?) for such projects as "From the Sunshine 
State" or higher speed film like K200 or EPL for the "Amazon" book. From 
a recent interview appeared on a French magazine it seems he switched 
from SLR Leicas -which he's been using in certain situations- to Canon. 
Thank you for fulfilling my curiosity!
