Great show guys, I know what I'll be looking for at the next car-boot sale!
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, I love these episodes where you share some great information about a type of film photography that I haven't a clue about.
Cheers, Rob.
Nice show. But Adams' group was called f/64, not f/45. People, please!!
