SPECIAL EQUIPMENT OR COMMENTS:
I use Leica M and Leica SLR (Single-Lens-Reflex) cameras; they are German-made, have fine optics and are not autofocus but manual, which I prefer because focus is critical in interpretation. I’ve used them throughout my career although they are expensive, mainly because the optics are among the best in the camera world.
