Scroll down and read "News Photographer Assigned To Oxford Murder Trial" by Harold Barker. CHILLING!

Somebody ought to interview this fellow for a story.

Jurgen Vollmer.

You're thinking of Daniel Kramer, I think. He used a Nikon RF to take photos of Bob Dylan.

He was an avid hobby photographer as well, and preferred rangefinders. I found a couple of photos of him with a Leica (M4?) taking photos of his family. I believe he also had or used the Nikon RF.

Me?

Ha! 😉

I have no friggin idea. Could sure use a rear cap for my 50 1.4 though.

 

[bmattock]

Capa used Conatax.

I could be mistaken, but while Googling for this, I read that Capa was found dead with two cameras, one loaded with color film and the other with B&W. One was a Contax, the other a Nikon RF.
