Phew!

Mike,

Thanks for jumping in with some great advice. I have a beautiful reliable FE2 Nikon which I only use on manual mode. It does not have too many bells and whistles anyway. It does have through the lens metering and I always meter for the face and bracket like ****, for the rest. My printmaker burns in the lights, if need be. I am so used to shooting in available light manually, it is hard to relay that information to someone starting out with different equipment.

As I understand nowadays that kind of printing adjustment is no longer an available option for digital. The exposure has to be right on the money. Any lights or whites, if they are washed out cannot be retrieved.

Thanks again,
