     Hi,
     
      If they were using Leicas, it might have been the M4-P.  I understand 
     Leica made 200 of the M4-P and R4 Everest models to celebrate the 
     climb.
     
     Regards,
     David

Greetings all,
     
 I just finished watching a fascinating film called The Conquest of Everest
- - The story of Edmund Hillary's conquest of Mount Everest.  I still don't 
understand why people climb mountains but there was some great footage of 
Nepal in 1953.  In a lot of ways the place hasn't really changed all that 
much.  There was quite a collection of cameras hanging around the necks of 
the various individuals involved in climb.  Marc can you help me out?  Do 
you know what cameras the team were using?
