I would have to check with the noted Capa authority, Mike Fletcher, to confirm this, but I believe that shot, from the Spanish Civil War, was made with a Leica. Capa used only Contax RF and Rolleiflex TLR's from 1939 until the late 1940's, though, when he added a Nikon RF to the kit. He had a Contax RF and Nikon RF with him when he was killed in Indo-China.
