Re: MF Survey

[Ernie Rairdin <ernie@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We sound like a gathering of old Russian scientists talking
about the sputniks.  I use a Sputnik also. I guess on focus,
using
3' per meter as an estimate.  On occassion I will shoot some
645 stuf with the Bronica ETRs.  The only viewer I have is an
Alan Lewis lighted one.  It works great, same as his print
viewers.
Most of my exposures are determined using a Minolta meter.
If I'm photographing people I prefer the Kodak EPP (ASA 100)
but it is just a typical scenic picture I kind of like Fuji
Velvia (ASA 50).
The Fuji appears to have vibrant greens and blues.  Maybe thats
why
the box is that color.
