[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]This is only my 2nd post, although I've been on board for several months. The following is from the Photofile book on Mark Riboud, of Magnum: "I met Henri Cartier-Bresson, who immediately converted me to an ancient viewfinder {for his Leica} that had the strange characteristic of inverting the image. 'It's really helpful,' he told me. 'It is exactly what the masters of the Renaissance were doing when they were looking at their canvases in a mirror to check on the composition.'" Question: Does anyone know anthing about this finder and where it can be found (and at what cost)? I've heard that Inge Morath also was converted by HCB to this finder when she was starting out. Many thanks, Bruce Feldman Tokyo
