Did Ansel Adams ever use 35mm film?

Yes. Adams owned a Contax (Zeiss) rangefinder at one point and I believe
used a Leica as well.

other friends of his. They are much less formal than his "professional"
portraits that I have always found kind of stiff.

>Did he?
Sure did. He has several famous shots taken with 35 mm, like the one of
Georgia O'Keefe with a cowboy (Orville Cox?) shot at Canyon de Chelly, or a
portrait of Stieglitz taken in his gallery in New York City in the late 1930's
with a Zeiss Contax. He's most famous for his large format landscape work of
course but also used a Hassleblad medium format quit a bit as he got older.
Bill Hilton
>Not for any of the work he sold or published.
Not true by a long shot.
Several of his 35 mm photos are published in "Autobiography" and in "Examples:
The Making of 40 Photographs".

Actually he used a Contax.. I also recall hearing that he also used a
Leica a few times..
He also did some MF work with a hasselblad..

with Zeiss. I think post war he used a Bull's eye Contarex (?)
Professional (?) slr for some of his informal stuff. My impression was
he replaced the Contax with it.

especially the last two. He tries to teach us how to visualise the final print before we expose the negative and to view,
objectively, our work.
In these books you can see some of his 35mm work. Obviously, it is published. He also has one example of a Leica M4-2, another of
a Nikon F2AS, Nikon Nikkormat, and Nikkor f=18mm/4. This would make one think that by the time these books were published, he
preferred Leica and Nikon equipment. Though, it is hard to know with certainty.

At least you're honest.
There are portraits in his books which have been taken with a Contarex.

> Did he?
Definitely! In his book "The Negative" he described at several places that
from the 1930s on he used a Contax II for casual private photography. He
seems to have been fascinated by the quality of 35mm lenses and film which
were available already then. He also had a commercial connection to
Hasselblad - and has also used them for some work outside the Hasselblad
connection.

Just a large-format landscape photographer who saw beauty and visual poetry
in some of the most rugged and harshest locations in the United States.

I assume so, he used a Kodak Brownie at one point (I know, not all
Brownies used 35mm film, and I have no idea if his did). Including
one shot that was upside down because he took it while falling out
of a tree...

He used an 8mm to do it.
