Not sure Jerry. Could be. But I do know that Leitz used her testimonial of Leica in their marketing of their 35mm cameras years ago.On Sat, Oct 9, 2010 at 3:37 AM, Jerry Lehrer <glehrer@xxxxxxxxxx <mailto:glehrer@xxxxxxxxxx>> wrote:Carlos, I hate to burst your bubble, but I do believe that the other camera appears to be a Canon or another Japanese copy of the Leica. NOT a Leica. You may choose to disagree.

"The woman who had been torpedoed in the Mediterranean, strafed by the Luftwaffe, stranded on an Arctic island, bombarded in Moscow, and pulled out of the Chesapeake when her chopper crashed, was known to the Life staff as 'Maggie the Indestructible. This incident in the Mediterranean refers to the sinking of the England-Africa bound British troopship SS Strathallan which she recorded in an article "Women in Lifeboats", in Life, February 22, 1943.(Wikipedia) The first Life magazine cover when it mainly became a photo-report magazine in 1936 was a Bourke-White photograph about a dam. I found these post-war images showing Margaret Bourke-White loading her Rolleiflex 2.8C, the first one shows a Leica too. http://tinyurl.com/2fful3r http://tinyurl.com/25zgjnu -- Peter K Ó¿Õ¬
