And I hope that when he pressed that button the shutter actually fired, not like my R4 frequently didn't (if you see what I mean)

:mad: :mad: :mad:

Yeah, the Magnum types shoot assignments for the Nat. Geo., and often use Leica (Alex Webb, David A. Harvey, - and I notice Tomas Tomaszewski (sp?) recently started using Ms). Jim Stanfield used Rs for a while, and there are a couple of other freelancers who shoot R-Leicas for them.

 

A higher proportion of Leica shooters than the general population - but still way outnumbered by Nikon and Canon users.

 

Historically, there was a priest who shot a couple of B&W stories with Ms for NG back in the 70's - first B&W they'd run in 20 years. I think his parish was on the Lakota/Sioux reservation, and he did one story there and another on the Inuit.

 

Then there was the M3 that went up the western route of Everest with the first American team to summit ('63?).
