G.W. dan, i believe that he used and m body with a 28 lens more or less permenantly mounted to it. he also shot a furious amount of film, from what i've heard: a photography teacher i once had told me how he had picked g.w. up from the airport for a lecture he was to give at cal arts. winogrand apparently shot nine rolls of film from the window of the car as they drove from the airport to his nearby hotel. what ho! guy
