How could you, the filmmaker, state that you don't know what camera he used?! EVERYONE knows that Leica and Eisie went hand in hand. How could you make a film about him and not know that?!

What I said Sir, is that I did not remember. The film was made 21 years ago.

I can tell you that he treated his camera as a tool not a jewel. He felt that if he had been shooting with a box camera he would do just fine. He was not technician who focused on the machine but instead fascinated by people and moments in time.
