The Chapter entitled CAMERA READY showed 6 photographers in the background of one of their famous shots. They are HCB (Valencia, 1933), W Eugene Smith (Minamata, 1971), Paul Strand (White Fence, 1916), Edward Weston (Pepper #30, 1930), Robert Frank (Parade-Hoboken, N J., 1955)and Cindy Sherman. HCB and Eugene Smith were shown holding their cameras. HCB (in a nice pic of him wearing a hat) was holding a Leica M3 (can't identify the lens but there is an acc. VF attached). Eugene Smith was holding a Leica (I think a IIIf), with a collapsible lens and VIDOM VF. The nice part is that they are shown holding our favourite brand of cameras. Dan Khong.
