Hi Ken,
I have only one thing to add. :-)  The camera is 50 years to late! As is 
digital photography!:-)

Given when I was assigned to shoot some of the documentary features way back 
when. I'd have to take 500-800 or more rolls of Tri-x or whatever was the 
film of the day. :-) It was always a big pain in the butt! However with 2 or 
3 M-monochrome bodies and a few cards and a spare battery or two in a 
pocket, as would be the case today. It would be a dream.

When we shot the book ... "Women in Medicine. A Celebration of their work." 
I shot 500 rolls of Tri-x. Sandy Carter my co-author shot around 300 rolls. 
I souped and made contact sheets for editing. Then we made 11X14 prints of 
those selected for the art director to choose from.

Today? Digital, it would have been a wonder not having to re-load after the 
36th frame all the time. :-)

Your review is very interesting and once again moves the clock back to many 
assignments in the long ago past when having to always shoot colour and B&W 
on nearly every situation. Today if that were the case I'd certainly have 
one Monochrome and one M-9 and shoot away at my hearts content. :-)

cheers,
Dr.ted :-)
