[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Almost 40 years ago my wife and I were on a walking safari in East Africa for which I was armed with 2 M4's, 35, 50, 90 & 135 and a Nikon F (prism, no meter) with 200 Auto-Nikkor, 30 rolls of Kodachrome and a couple of rolls of Agfachrome (because I really like its black blacks). The Kodachromes are still perfect; I discarded the Agfachromes some years ago as they bore only the barely perceptible outlines of the original images.
