I agree, John. My first jaunt into photogrpahy (not snapshooting) was with a
C3, Kodacolor print film (ASA 80?) and the exposure suggestion on the flimsy
spec sheet enclosed. I was hooked. The camera was a loaner, but I now have 2
in my collection of abandoned cameras. Might just clean one up and try it
out for fun.....
