I got pretty good at guessing on the K-1000 with negative film. That old stick meter made learning that sort of easy. So I guess, if needed, it is a skill I could revive a bit. I'll bet the only adage that has never been bantered around is, "real photographers don't need no stinking tripods!" Hehehehe. Marnie aka Doe ;-)
