Eisenstadt for one was using screw-mount Leicas way before the M3 and there were many others. It is true that there were still many photo deitors who insisted on larger negatives so many pros used Rolleis and Speed Graphics. Now that I think about it, most of the front line photography during the Korean police action was shot with Leica IIIf's and the early Nikkor 50/1,4s.
