Any info. on exposure compensation for black folk?  I know they come in all 
shades from "caucasian" to jet black, but was just wondering.  I have a 
wonderful black co-worker with a million dollar smile that I want to take 
some portraits of.  Portraiture is new to me.  I have a roll of Kodak 160 NC, 
the 85/2, and the OM-2S is a whole lot smarter than I am... but I would sure 
appreciate any "tips".  Haven't decided indoors vs. outdoors yet.  May do 
both if she's willing & patient.  I will bracket.  That much I know.  Thanks.
