No way. Ansel was an SLR man all the way. He has specifically said he  
did not like using rangefinders because their compositional accuracy  
never met his needs. His last camera that he used regularly was a Leica  
R4.

But he was rich enough that's he'd be guying a Hassleblad H2 with the  
$12,000 digital back. No, wait, Hassleblad would have given him one.
