I may be dead wrong on this, Mark, but I believe that many Geographic
photographers own Ms and may use them as their personal carry camera, but
when it comes to Geographic assignments, I believe that Nikon and Canon have
most of the business....

BD i didn't say studio flash units.
I said battery powered manual flash. You wear a Norman or Lumidyen on
your belt.

And I was under the impression that we all knew that the percentage of
photographers at N Geographic who use Leica M was impressive and not as
miniscule as in the regular professional world.

>From what i can gather from reading Photo District News and just looking
at the Fashion magazines I think 35mm dominates over medium format. Half
the stuff looks like it was done with point and shoots. The other half
with digital point and shoots. :)

My real guess is medium format 30 percent.
