Bob's suggestion of posting info about lesser known photogs is, of course, a good one. However, not everyone knows about the better known photogs ... someone on the Leica list had, for example, never heard of Salgado or Nachtwey. Still, putting forth the names and perhaps urls of any photog is a

A little tact would be good here, Shel. This is Doug's list. You we can do without, him we can not. Sometimes OT gets a little out of hand, but it dies down. You have introduced this PAW thing which mostly is good. I do think however that the one on the Leica list you modeled it after limits

The old (pre 1959) indexes were about 1 stop lower, though some pro films were only raised 2/3 stops. On that basis I would say you will always be safe with a 1 stop over-exposure on amateur films, and a 2/3 stop over-exposure on pro films. Beyond that I would suggest careful experimentation to
