Not sure which I admire more, Adams or Steichen for their mastery of gray scale.
The Zone System. One of these days I need to study that.

I still have my Contax 139 and shot hundreds of rolls with it. I really miss setting f-stops and playing with the depth of field. I wish someone made a digital back for my Contax... that would be cool.
Depending on what kind of lenses, you may be able to get an inexpensive adapter to use the old manual lenses on an EOS digital body,

Still in its original case.
Memories, memories.
Speaking of older cameras, Here's what we used back in the late 50s & 60s when in Cuba for a couple years. Zeiss Icon, took great pictures, loved that camera! German technology at it's best. Are they still in business? PJ
