He told me the old 28mm Elmarit never came off her camera as she told him. As of late her books have made a bigger showing in the bookstores I frequent and it seems like that may really be the case from all I can tell as I've gone thought them carefully. Richard Kalvar also in Paris is a one lens guy never shooting anything but a 35mm focal lengh which exact Leica model I forgot. He says if he ever used a different lens he'd not know where the walls were. Both Magnum people as well.
