Me, as all the friends here, I?m after a lot of years handling cameras, on my case I?ve start more than 50 years ago? it is normal that I still have a certain quantity of images I?ve never share with the the LUG, unfortunately, those from the 50?s and the 60?s the negatives are missed, I only keep some small copies I?ve scanned. I hope have the time to share them with the LUG Cheers Lluis > El 21/10/2015, a les 18:56, Adam Bridge <abridge683 at fastmail.com> va > escriure: > > I can really relate to your thoughts about exercises for the Zone System, > Lluis, and precisely how doing this kind of work is like doing finger > exercises and scales for piano.
