That now he is a "C" shooter and that the Magazine provides their people with all the glass that they could want but that he shoots mostly with the 28 on one body and a 90 on another, (makes a lot of sense-but then we all have our own style). I know at one time the Nat. Geo was all Leica as were a lot of the national Newspapers. But now I think they are mostly all AF and if you want to shoot other than that it's at your own expense. BTW this essay was written in 97 so who knows what has happened in the last 3 yr.
