Re: Film is obselete? Right now I have 3 camers, 2 of which have no light meters at all, and I use
handheld meters with them, IF I want to take a reading at all. And with the
old Exa I did shot slide film and I took no readings at all and used a 135mm
lens. I also shot a roll of print film when I got the 70 to 210 zoom with my
Topcom to test the lens and I used the camer's light meter. But many times
I've not used the meter at all and still gotten good photos with the lens,
be they tele's or 50's. Because over the years I have learned to judge the
seting to use with what ever film/lens I was using and still get good
photos, be it be slide or print film. in years past. Most of the time I've
used print film now a days, so I've not needed the use of the miter a lot as
I live out in the desert and I know the settings I need to use, what ever
lens or film speed I'm using. I have not only the Exa, but an older Exacta,
and the Topcon. I'll have a cmera that has a old stype meter in a short time
and only with a normal lens, and I'll shot a roll of print film to test it
out. Later On I'll get a roll of slide film and do it too. The main thin is
out here, I'll stil basiy know what seeting to use out here in the desert,
so no meter needed.

There are those who believe that life here, began out there, far across the
universe, with tribes of humans, who may have been the forefathers of the
Egyptians, or the Toltechs, or the Mayans. Some believe that they may yet be
brothers of man, who even now fight to survive, somewhere beyond the
heavens.
