Regards Gareth Jolly Sydney, Australia - ---- Hello again... I had a very dear friend from Poland...who came to live in the US after armed services in Austria after World War-11...by the name of Anton Zelek. This gent must have been the most-photographed person on Earth outside of Princess Di!...Anton would have been LOST without that self-timer on his two Contax-11A Cameras. He was a most vocarious film shoter in his own right...and I was amazed at the sharpness and brilliance of all his photos. He traveled the world and kept my mailbox filled with envelopes filled with postcard size B&W prints...in which I have two albums filled to the gills. Question in point?...He used a Green Filter on his lenses...(and never shot color). I switched from Yellow to Green on that basis...and noticed a remarkable improvement in the tones of my own photos. Just thought I'd add my two-cents worth here.... ED.
