Women doing the wash, reading the newspaper, prune packers of Portugal. I don't know what the story was about. But the editor spoke in awe the HC-B pulled it off in TWO rolls of film, and only had two bad frames. How many could do that of any subject that isn't standing still in a studio? ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
