In what country on what planet? Were there many shooters who used Leicas, and did some of the papers insure/replace/or purchase that equipment? Yes. But that's a far, far, far cry from the statement made. I may be wrong, but I believe the Geographic's policy used to be - in the dark ages of my youth - that it would buy the photographers what ever type of equipment they wanted to use - and many used Leicas for some of their work.
