Cartier-Bresson was mentioned earlier in this thread I think. His kit was 35mm, 50mm, 90mm, with the majority of his photos shot with the first two. Once in a very rare while he shot with a 135mm. He managed okay with those few lenses. ;-) cheers, frank ps: the above information came from his longtime developer, Pierre Gassmann. HCB didn't talk much about his equipment AFAIK. -ft -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
