Seems he had a liking for the black versions!

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

It always struck me as odd that they were gloss black and not matt.
Presumably the point of black bodies was to make them less conspicuous, but the gloss black still reflected enough light to produce tell-tale flashes; though possibly not as much as silver bodies.

Some people call me 'strange'.
I prefer 'unconventional'.
But I'm willing to compromise and accept 'eccentric'.

No body would have bought them if they were matt. I bought two black Spotmatics and it was purely because I liked the look of the camera. I wasn't bothered about being invisible

I remember the ads in the photo magazines: "Add $10 for professional black finish"...
