[QUOTE="Nikonitus, post: 90992, member: 10962"] Back then, late 60's early 70's, I was wondering what film to buy, ISO 100 or 400 and actually wondering what it actually meant. I had an Agfa something 'er other camera and I just loaded it, pointed and clicked it. You had about 20 shots per roll to prove your worth and I could never wait til I got those photos back, usually took 3 - 4 days to get them developed and for a schoolboy, waiting that long that was murder. I used to haunt the local racetrack in the summertime and had mountains of photos of car and bike drivers/riders,, some of whom went on to become very well known or even world champs in their classes. They used to come here during the northern hemisphere off season just to stay in-tune over their winter. No such worries for a teenager about which camera to have..
