I had a friend/colleague who took a Ansel Adams workshop in Yosemite in 1971. I don't remember any comment about what (if anything) AA used to shot 35mm - the main thing my friend learned was about the zone system, visualization, and the use of the Polaroid SX-70 (IIRC) to check the composition, lighting etc. before committing to a shot with a film camera.
