Sir Edmund Hillary, a Pioneering Conquerer of Everest, Dies at 88


In the annals of great heroic exploits, the conquest of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund and Mr. Torgay ranks with the first trek to the South Pole by Roald Amundsen in 1911 and the first nonstop trans-Atlantic flight by Charles A. Lindbergh in 1927.....

An the camera he carried was a Retina Type 118 with a Zeiss Tessar lens.
