America in Pictures: The Story of Life Magazine

I don't know if this has been posted before.

A great little documentary about Life Magazine and its photographers by BBC. Includes a cool little shoot out between a Leica S2 and M6. I suggest you watch it before it gets taken off ***tube:

If you can get over annoying, 'wow'-like attitude of Rankin, that is He just looks funny, running with his big pile of gear...

Worth seeing, though, as there are some interesting people interviewed there
