Duane,

Ah, yes, what about Gene Smith.

You try shooting with a 28mm f/5.6 lens with 100 speed film in a room with
little light.

That was then, this is now.

And Gene Smith was the one who said "I use available light, whatever is
available."

Stage lighting, flash, bulbs, 12 hour printing sessions on one print, then
make a copy negative for further prints... he's done it all. But this is a
new world. 1.4 lenses with film that pushes beautifully up to 6400 and beyond.
