Re: [Rollei] Capa documentary

["Nathan Wajsman (private)" <nathanw]

I just finished reading the excellent book by Steinbeck, "A Russian 
Journal", in which he recounts a trip to the Soviet Union in 1947 which 
he made together with Capa. Steinbeck mentions in several places in the 
book that Capa used Rolleiflex as well as Leicas.
