todd frederick Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 It's not so much the Leica Hardware, but the Style. In addition to my M2, I'm also playing with my Yashica Electros and Lynx rangefinders, as I have for many years. It's the person; not the camera.

stuart_richardson Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I am quite fond of Martine Franck. She was Cartier-Bresson's wife, but she is phenomenal in her own right. The only reason I know that she is a Leica photographer is because her bio pic at Magnum looks like this: <P><img src="http://www.magnumphotos.com/LowRes2/TR3/ S/K/B/W/PAR148921.jpg"><P>That photo is from the Magnum site and was taken by Willy Ronis.
