I recognize that many pictures look great, at least at the monitor and yours are wonderful. I don?t know what is a calibrated system WYSWYG. In fact I have never fully adapted to new technologies, I have been trained since I was very young with film, with mechanical devices, without batteries. When I started to photograph when I was 13 years old, the most used films were 15 or 18 DIN (ISO 25 or 50), I perfectly remember one day my father gave me a 21 DIN film (ISO 100) and he told me, it's fantastic, it's very fast! In Spain at least it was rare to get Tri-X, and in 1965 I had used Ferrania 8mm 27 DIN (ISO 400) film for night shots. My favorite until it was discontinued was Kodak Plus X. Best!
