Oh, no question they probably jumped at the chance to shoot in color,
given - if nothing else - what was for them the novelty of being able to
do so. It's just that when I compare, say, the Jack Delano stuff in b&w
that I've seen with this color work, the color work fades - forgive me
:-) - by comparison.

What  does the viewfinder have to do with anything? There is a

Yeah, I kinda get that concept.  I think though that those
photographers who 
got to shoot some of the stuff in color were eager to do  it.  These
days it 
is rather easy to wax poetic about black and  white.  I remember what a
bummer 
it was having to shoot the spring features  for the paper in black and
white. 
  
It is kind of like when you have no car, everything is within walking  
distance.
