Hmmmm!! My earliest Master Photoguide has a copyright of1954, but it is
the second 1954 printing. Just happen to have the box it came in, and is
kept in, the price was $1.75. I think quite a bit has changed since this
one was printed. The fastest color film listed (Kodacolor, DaylightType)
had a daylight exposure index of 25.
Doesn't have any existing light tables, no gray card either, but it includes
contrast filters to determine the best filter for black and white, and it
has a section on the use of Portra and Telek lenses on view-type cameras.
Makes me feel old just to look at it!
Must be why I started carrying a newer edition?
