Wow, thanks, Frank. I have been saying that almost since my first day on
the list. But then I am a guy who had been told by lab owners' that my
exposures were the most consistant they had ever seen. Too bad my
clients did not think that was real important. While I was make a
midnight snack, I was thinking that nitpickers do not make very
successful business people.

That's an understatement.
I've run into a lot of pro photographers who are only able to do what they do
because the automation in the camera has enough skill to cover for them.
I suspect that the % of truly skilled pro photographers is now hovering at
an all time low.
I've saw evidence of that at the photo shop. We used to do a lot of
processing for pros. When they started making the transition to digital
you could see who really had a handle on exposure and who didn't. Not
many did.
the fellow who runs the lab at which i get all my b&w stuff processed
tells me that he can tell by looking at exposed film who exposes
manually and who sets their body on auto. those who expose manually
have much more consistent exposures. those that rely on their cameras
have exposures all over the place.
draw your own conclusions...
