Jerry As your old sparring partner, QWhoZeiss@aol.com -- who happens to be one of the most learned scholars of Capa around -- would tell you, Capa switched from Leica to Contax shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War. He took his D-Day pictures with Rolleiflex for the voyage in and with Contax for the beach shots. When he was killed he had a Contax and a Nikon RF with him.
