Curious - how did you feel about shooting transparencies Mark?

It was always a very different trip for me;
when photographing transparencies or 4x5 or 8x10 Polaroids;
wherein "all the work" had to be done "PRECISELY"
before tripping the shutter.

No darkroom adjustments.
No discussions with the guys at the custom C-41 lab.
Had to "get it" on the film.
Emulsion tests, lights, filters, color temperature meters - those were the 
days!
Far fewer fish swam in that pond.
