1970? Long time ago. I was 28 and using my father's Exakta VXIIa, the
camera designed for left-handed people. Actually, he let me take this
camera along on a solo camping trip out west in 1963. I had never used
an SLR before, and, after getting all the way out to Utah from Minnesota
without taking a single shot, I finally sat down at a picnic table in a
camp ground and went through the instruction manual. In less than 20
minutes I understood all the numbers: 1.9 2.8 4 5.6 8 11; T 25 50 100
250 500; 25 40 64 100 160 250. Looking back, I'm glad that I learned
the rudiments of photography on a manual camera. That 20 minutes almost
50 years was time very well spent.
