Description

TLS signed “Ansel,” one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, June 18, 1961. Letter written from Yosemite, containing some discussion of photographic equipment. In part: "Appreciate your fine letter. This is just a note because today is the last day of the Workshop and you understand!…Real exciting about your new work. When see some? Comment on Rochester Mystics EXACTLY the point. I am fond of Minor in spite of all—but I can stomach the rest of them. Cant read the Sanscrit on the envelope too well, but if you refer to the new Gnossen (?) meter and its Japanese counterpart, I found them inaccurate in the higher luminances. I also worked with the new Heiland meter and that seems very poor indeed. Off in various areas, and not consistently. Cell seems to have low sensitivity to blue. Calibrated to VI but very poorly 'dialed.'" In fine condition.
