Yes , no error , 15 . This was in 78 and the camera was a Minolta SR 7 . Sadly It had been stolen later . At the time I was doing TriX and Kodachrome at the school air base lab. My first Leica , an M6 , was purchased with money earned from missions in Tchad . Since then , things got worse , in terms of photography . I mean more and more . The desease is now too advanced to cure , and my 3 daughters , 13 , 9 and 7 years old are contamined also .
