Ansel was never much of a 35mm shooter (his preferred non-LF camera was a Hasselblad, at least late in his career). And most of his 35mm stuff was RF-era although IIRC he did shoot some with a Nikon F late in his career.
One thing to recall is that Ansel was pretty much at the end of his shooting career by the time SLR's became common. He did most of his shooting from the late 1920's through the early 1960's. -Adam On Sat, Nov 27, 2010 at 11:04 PM, Stan Halpin <s...@stans-photography.info> wrote: > I had a friend/colleague who took a Ansel Adams workshop in Yosemite in 1971. > I don't remember any comment about what (if anything) AA used to shot 35mm - > the main thing my friend learned was about the zone system, visualization, > and the use of the Polaroid SX-70 (IIRC) to check the composition, lighting > etc. before committing to a shot with a film camera. > > stan > > On Nov 27, 2010, at 10:41 PM, paul stenquist wrote: > >> The k1000 was introduced in 1976.
