My guess and bet are that _any_ famous photographer, male or female,
from pre-WWII to say the early 60's used Leica.

One who used Leica extensively that hasn't been mentioned is
Ella Maillart.

Here's the photo that introduced me to Maillart, of Peter Fleming,
her travel companion in her extensive travel in China.
