I gotta say I've seen lots of peoples cameras, much fewer peoples prints, fewer people than that even contacts, and very few peoples negs. The negs would tell it all but what is done with them later on in the process would also be a help. Like can he print them at all decently or does he print them all "down" (too dark). Slides are cool as they are in effect the print yet they were there when the picture was taken and the light of the subject in the picture is what touched them, not an enlarger light.. And light table or projection. Two hugely different venues. Contexts. Arenas. One persons stack of archaival prints is another persons slides spred out on a light table. Just some thoughts; the idea of HCB shooting Ektachrome just threw me for a loup. Ektachrome 64. God that stuff was nasty. An 81B would not even warm it up enough. High speed Ektachrome was 125 I recall.
