[...] The pictures in James Ravilious' book "An English Eye" (1998, ISBN 1-85522-628-6) were taken almost exclusively with a Leica M3 and older lenses. The book includes a longish section (5 pages) on his tools and techniques, and demonstrate how using the M3 + VIOOH or Imarect, with uncoated Elmars and Hektors, in conjunction with the Zone System, help him to get precisely the effects he wants. His prints are very even and smooth in tone, very well suited to his subject, the Devon countryside and how people live there. It's a very, very beautiful book, little known. - --- Bob mailto:bob@web-options.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
