Am happy to say a signed copy of "Women in Medicine" sits proudly in my bookshelves too. Enjoyed it enormously. But do I understand that you never found it necessary to half-press to hold exposure from a particular area at all? If memory serves there were a couple of shots with bright window areas or bright lights in the frame. That had to have presented a metering problem. Thanks.
