Lewis I have three copies of "The Manual of Modern Photography by Hans Windisch." Gave one to Mark Rabiner. I have one stored in a safe deposit box. It was my photo processing bible for many years. 1955 - 1970. Taught me everything about fine grain vs compensation vs edge definition and a mix of the above. Still my favorite process book. Windisch was a Leica user too. An Ohaus balance, some chemicals, a Windisch manual, and seventh heaven is only a stirring rod away. Jim
