They even had the woman who claims to be the lady in the photo onhand.

IMO, it's not "OT". It was undoubtedly taken with a Leica RF and "Eisie" is one of my favorite Photographers of all time. It's a fitting tribute to a great photograph.

Eisenstadt made 35mm what it is today. Leica presented him with the the #1,000,000 M3 for his contributions to 35mm photography. I don't remember the body he shot this image with but I think it was a IIIC and I remember reading the lens was a 28mm Hektor. He's one of the truly great photographers.

I was in Atlanta two weeks ago in the Fay Gold Gallery and they have a signed original print of this. I believe it was one of 250. You can be the proud owner of this beautiful image for onl;y $48,000 US. Oh yes, plus local and state tax.

You're probably right. I took the "OT" out of the title.
