The quest for glorious midtones

[c6h6o3]

I will definitely try Doug Webb's test whenever I get a chance (finals crunch).

The test he describes is a good one, as long as you do two things, to wit:

1) Photograph a subject, not a gray card.
2) Print all the negatives. The mistake most people make after doing all that work of photographing and developing is trying to judge what they've got from the negative alone. We're after fine prints. Only printing the negatives will tell you anything useful.
