Using Rolleiflex's
The only Weegee at work image I ever saw must have been
early -- he was
holding a Speed and a screw-in bulb flash.

I don't think Weegee ever used anything but a Speed
Graphic. This was the defacto standard tool for press work
for about three decades. Somewhere, in an article, Weegee
recommended the S.G. with a Kodak Ektar on it. Evedently, he
knew lenses.
Some of the prints in the exhibt are orginals but half or
more are reprints made about 1960 for a book. They are
mostly 11x14. Most of the originals are also of this size. I
always associated 8x10 glossies with news work but evidently
PM, the paper Weegee was working for in the 1940's liked
larger prints to make their plates from.
