I used Leica M3, M4/2, M4/P and M6 35mm rangefinder cameras professionally for two decades, so have some good experiences with them. Like most manual cameras they're simple to use and extremely reliable under all situations from weddings to wars. For years I also used a Leica IIIf RD/DA for pleasure... but, the sale of those fine cameras did not end a love affair! ~ Ed Buziak

Henri Cartier-Bresson – The Decisive Moment video

Cartier-Bresson achieved international recognition for his coverage of Gandhi’s funeral in India in 1948 and the last (1949) stage of the Chinese Civil War. He covered the last six months of the Kuomintang administration and the first six months of the Maoist People’s Republic. He also photographed the last surviving Imperial eunuchs in Beijing, as the city was falling to the communists. From China, he went on to Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia), where he documented the gaining of independence from the Dutch. Photograph of Alberto Giacometti by Henri Cartier-Bresson.
