Just about anything he could get his hands on, including Leicas, Hasselblads and view cameras.
of course not! He died in 1984, digital wasn't even invented yet
Natural light. The vast majority of Adams' work is landscape photography.
Ansel Adams used view cameras, but he didn't like Deardorffs for some reason. What he really liked best was his Hasselblad.

Ansel Adams was a photographer who developed the zone system and belonged to the f/64 group, named for the very small aperture setting which allowed for the sharp detail and extreme depth of field present in his photographs.

Photons. Lots and lots of photons. ;)
Actually he did use the color system earlier on in his life. Mary Alinder found some of his old color negatives and she asked Ansel if she could produce them and he agreed, but after producing a couple pictures with her husband, Ansel ordered them to stop.Adams did a lot of color work. He was a consultant for Kodak and Polaroid and tested color materials for both. He also did a lot of commercial work to support himself. He was very old before his black and white fine art work began making him much money. Check out the book, Ansel Adams in Color.
