[Leica] Zeiss Planar T and no beer

[Mark Rabiner]

If I had models on my backdrop is sure did not bracket. I shot a bracketed
test and brought it in two a two hour E6 processor and then shot the same
emulsion of Fujichome later when the models came in all at the indicated by
test f stop. Which I most cases would have been the one I'd have gone with
anyway. When you bracket models the shot you love will always be done at the
wrong f stop. That's a rule.
