In his autobiography (Little, Brown, and Co.) AA wrote:

In 1893, while I was on one of my frequent visits to Point Lobos, I was
sitting at one of the picnic benches changing film in my Leica R-4. A
middle-aged man, obviously a photographer, since he was festooned with
several cameras, came and sat opposite me.  He expressed astonishment that
I was using a 35mm camera.  I explained that I was not dedicated to any
particular size and that I had used 35mm extensively.  I am often typed as
a rigid large-format man in spite of the fact that I have done much work
with smaller formats.
