Which, I'll confess, makes me not much of a photographer. Most of my life is spent in Program mode with occasional forays into Aperture Priority when I need to force more subject separation than the camera's likely to give me without prodding.
So the old Leica IIIb proved something of a challenge, since there was none of that to be found.
Well, I was shooting my test roll on a bright July day without many clouds in the sky, so the Sunny 16 rule proved handy.
"Let's see... Drug store Fujicolor 400 and f/16, so... 1/500th and pray..." I was hoping that if I'd made an error, the broad exposure latitude of modern C41 process color film would bail me out.
It turns out that I needn't have worried...
