Without taking away from anything, National Geographic photographers have not used Leica for years. Some years ago, there was some communications between the LSA and a group of NG photographers about the demise of the quality of NG photographically and of the regulars I don't remember any using Leica. They seemed to have gravitated to Nikon and Canon for the most part. I think 1 or 2 were using Contax. The discussion was started b/c there was a noticable shift in terms of the quality of both the subject matter, the artistic components and a loss of the Leica look of the final images. FWIW I am a Leica and Rolleiflex user.

That story speaks volumes, Brian.
Like in the hi-fi biz, I suppose alot of it comes down to who has the most bucks for good PR.
I was watching a fantastic nature documentary on PBS.
The filmaker was using Arri/Zeiss and at the end of the program was an ad from the sponser of the program-Canon. SO this of course leads the viewer to believe that Canon optics and/or cameras were used in the documentary.
