I agree, but this is vastly different than technical discussions about what
dynamic range really is!  Most photographers don't even understand what
depth of FOCUS is...and I doubt it was discussed at these "meetings".  More
like zoom lenses, cameras, meters...sharing of pictures, "techniques" like
comparing Microdol 1:3 vs D-76 1:1...

Yes, BUT...very one directional...
