And honestly, and this is just my opinion, your mileage may vary, but photographers in the 40's though the 80's HAD to be much better photographers technically than today because there were no such things as DSLR's and Photoshop and all of that jazz. There was no way to go in and fix or modify things pixel by pixel. To make stunning images back then took much more and better technical knowledge not only in setting exposure in the camera but also producing prints in the darkroom. Look at Ansel Adams and his breathtakingly gorgeous images. He carried nothing but a 8x10 view camera, sturdy tripod, good lenses and a Pentax digital 1º spot meter. And his prowess in the darkroom was unsurpassed.</p></blockquote><p></p>
