RE: [Leica] salgado lenses

[Jim Laurel <jplaurel@microsoft.com>]

In an interview I read, he claims to use 3 bodies with 3 lenses: 28mm, 35mm,
and 60mm.  We can assume at least that the 60mm is an R camera of some kind.

Another interesting side note is that David Alan Harvey, in an interview
with Bob Krist some time ago, says he uses a very minimal set of equipment.
An M6 with 35mm out and ready at all times, and another with 28mm or 50mm
mounted.  He says he keeps an SLR stashed away with a long lens, but rarely
ever uses it.

There is a sneak preview of his upcoming story on Cuba here.  Some wonderful
images...

In the "insights into his work" sidebar, he says: "I'm anti-equipment. When
I teach workshops the first thing I tell all my students is to go back to
their rooms with all those cameras and pick only one camera with only one
lens."

Some days ago a friend of mine asked me about the leica equipment used by
Sebastiao Salgado. I knew that he used both M and R systems but I have no
info about the lenses. According to his photos he seems to respect HCB
tradition and to avoid extreme focal distances (no 28, no 200mm) Does
anybody have further information not only about the Focal distances but also
about the lens models?

Thanks
