Hello Gerry,

It is an old photo and I'm surprised in a way that it is the one they are
using on the Magnum site.  The gear he is using there looks extremely
cumbersome - a M6 and a 35mm would be much easier to work with.  What is
normal anyway?

Cheers, Ian

That is a pretty old photo of Marc who was 80 last year. When I met him 
in London it was at the launch of his 'China' show and all he had with 
him was his M6 and one lens, so maybe he finds all the 'normal' gear too 
cumbersome now.
