Last evening, on The Learning Channel (Discovery Channel in the US) they
showed a documentary called SIDESHOW!, about the history of human "freaks"
and their history in Circus sidshows.  In it was featured a photographer (I
missed his name - sorry!) who was photographing some of the remaining
living relics of this era, using what appeared to be a gold-plated Leica-M.
 Couldn't get a good enough look to determing which one though...

He was shown using both a 50mm and what appeared (from the finder) to be a
21mm.  

cheers!
