There were two or three instances where a black M-6? with 35 Summicron appeared around the neck of the writer who narrated the movie at camp 1. It was also used to take a couple of snaps on the summit with (e-gads) the classic motordriven sound during each shot. The other camera used on the summit was the leather covered Olympus LT-1. Beautiful scenery........ but watching a bunch of incompetent climbers try to scale the tallest mountain in the world was a bit tiring. Duane Birkey HCJB World Radio Quito Ecuador
