Except HCB uses a Contax TV autofocus zoom instead of a Pentax and that's when
he's not sketching with a pencil.
No one can compete with that level of regressioni! (HCB Rules)
Most of my photographer friends who are mostly the typical high tech think I've
regressed enough shooting a Leica M6 with a cloth shutter and a sync speed of
1/50 and no autofocus. If I regressed any more I'd be swinging from the trees
with a Bananaflex!
