Guess we're of the same vintage, Walt.
With me it was USAF photo school - a 4x5 or 8x10 and 5 film holders (5
holders x 2 sheets of film = 10 sheets of film at 10 points = 100 points
possible grade for project). A good double exposure meant a blank neg
somewhere else. 20 points shot. Add an out of focus or poor exposure and
you had Saturday morning clean the lab duty.
No wonder I'm warped - smelling all the floor wax on Saturday mornings.
