Shoots on 400Tri-X, and 3200T-max. Generally around f5.6 & anywhere between 1/2sec and 125/sec. Carries 3 M6 bodies, 28mmf2.8,35mmf2, and 50mmf1.4 summilux. ( Also 3 R6 bodies and lenses ). He did a great interview in PHOTO fr, last year and explained which leicas he used and the set up for a whole range of images. Great interview, full of technical info, what he shot on and what was push developed etc, to get the grain. Check it out, but it is in french.

PHOTO Issue No368 Avril(April)2000. You'll probably have to get a back issue, great issue in depth about the equipment and technique he has used since1970, even the use of a 24x36 polaroid camera. Check your local university libraries.
