Certainly within some pro fashion photog groups there is someone highly
respected who uses a 6x7 solution, and
perhaps some popular wedding person who uses a 645 system.
Other than those possibilities, maybe Shel or WW?

Herb Ritts used to use a 6x7. Don't know if he still does.

Well, I can't think of anyone more famous than the Beatles with any camera,
but John Hedgecoe uses a Pentax on occasion and you can see him with his
Pentax LX on the cover of his New Book of Photography. John Hedgecoe was a
former photographer for the magazine Queen, and has published many

Sam Haskins was long considered a reknown photographer using Pentax
but I'm not sure I would call him a famous photographer. In my book
he's a pop photographer.
Don't forget, back in the 60's, Spotmatics outsold all other brands of
35mm SLR - combined! Hard to believe, but true. There were

Sam Haskins has done some very good photography in Africa. I'm not sure how
to categorise it. Travel reportage perhaps, but it's quite interesting. I
saw an exhibition of his fairly recent work in London 2 or 3 years ago.

Salgado, Dorothea Lange, WES, Elliott Gould, Sammy Davis Jr., Ansel Adams
(at least once when doing some street shooting with Dorothea Lange), all
come quickly to mind. Are they more famous than the Beatles? Well, that
might depend on who you are and what your age is. There's a whole

Hi Bob
thanks, I have 2 books of John Hedgecoe, not new but got them used each for
the equivalent of a roll of film
I buy a lot of photographic books, I really start to collect some titles
(Photo Porst Fotorat and Agfa brochures for example). I must have more
than 100 by now, mostly old ones back
Yeah also...
They both have one thing in common. No one knows exactly how to pronounce
eithers' actual name!

With all due respect, you're crazy Shel.
I really can't imagine that more than two out of twenty people from say
twelve years old on up would honestly say they never heard of the Beatles.
Apart from Sammy Davis Jr., I doubt you would find two in 500 who'd heard
of any of these photographers.
That's not at all respectful LOL

That certainly is Ringo. And, it certainly is a Pentax 35mm SLR he's

that one was black.

John Hedgecoe's The Photographer's Handbook contains quite a few
examples taken with a Pentax camera. John Swannell (you Brits might
know him) has done some really interesting nudes with a 6x7. Diane
Arbus was also known to use a 6x7 later in life (of course, Bill Robb

I just read a NY Times article (free registration required) on David
