With all respect--to you AND the old press photographers--this is 
obviously not a formula you can do in your head, on the fly. I see the 
value of working out a set of tables for your Speed Graphic lens(es), 
but, given that the scales on Leica lenses really do work quite well in 
my experience, what would I gain by doing these calculations for each f 
stop for each lens?
