  • Leica

  • Canon

  • Nikon

  • Pentax

Answer

Leica was Cartier-Bresson's preferred camera brand. He famously used the Leica 35mm rangefinder camera, which allowed him to capture candid and decisive moments with its compact size and quiet shutter. Cartier-Bresson believed that the Leica's unobtrusive nature enabled him to blend into his surroundings and capture authentic, unposed images.
