Probably HCB would be a DSLR user if he was of this generation, perhaps not as being in sharp focus was quite secondary to him.

 

I don't think so, he had the opportunity to use an SLR for the last 50 years of his life but decided to stick with a rangefinder. I'm guessing part of the reason for that was that he liked the idea of everything in the viewfinder being in focus since he was looking for patterns a lot of the time - didn't he say that photography was just geometry or something similar? Certainly I can relate to that and see it in some of his work.
