It would be restrictive for macro for anyone using contactless ext tubes, all bellows and anyone using butchered zoom methods / setups.

Canon CPS | Don McCullin Feature - Seeking the Light

Crafty Canon. It does mention at the bottom of that video that he also used Olympus OM cameras, but I don't think that was for very long. Possibly freebies.

Seems to use Canon for digital even though he made his name with Nikon lenses..... Maybe the range wasn't big enough for him or he didn't like the way Nikon did video.

It appears to be a Mamiya 'Universal'.

Anyone know the make of the ROLL film camera that he said he'd worn out four of ? I thought it was a Koni-Omega , but he wound the next frame on with a conventional wind on knob. The Koni had a push pull wind.

No aperture ring though which is restrictive for a macro lens.

And remember that other than Leica Pentax is the only company offering cameras and lenses in three formats: APS-C, FF and MF, which is a large field to cover with new products.
I saw somewhere that Pentax used K because it K stood for King and Q because it stood for Queen.
Excellent BBC 4 program last night featuring Don Mc Cullin at 83 still excellent even though he doesn't use many lenses Or take many shots because he's using mostly film. ( Could be on iPlayer.)

It might be worth pointing out the advantage changing lenses in the field with a DSLR compared to Mirrorless ..... see this post...
