Jem was making a sarcastic response to one of our LUG members who described his technique for using zone system on 35 roll film. The sarcasm being that this zone approach is absurd if it were applied to one of the greatest images of our time, particularly if it were on 35mm film.>>>>>> Damn and I fell for it hook line and sinker!!!!! :) I just couldn't imagine HCB asking the guy to do it 50 times let alone 6. OK guys. it's Monday morning and Mondays are hell! Let alone my mind runs at less than half speed, which is better than most times. :) <<<What amazes me about the latter is that either HCB is invisible (rumored) or so unobtrusive that the subject was oblivious to being photographed. Relax.
