[Leica] AA

>>>Leica content:  Did AA ever use a Leica?<<<

He probably "ever used" most every kind of camera, but he owned Zeisses.
He hardly ever shot 35mm, though, so it's prety much a moot point.

Incidentally, we may need some perspective adjustment here. I'd always
been told that in the 1930 through the 1950s, ZEISS was the top brand of
camera for status and prestige--Leica was considered more no-nonsense,
more workmanlike, less precious, and was preferred by working
photographers because its shutters never broke and it was more
affordable. But Zeiss was more the "carriage trade" brand.

Can anybody speak to this?
