A change now simply wouldn't take. It's for the same reason we still have 24 hrs and 60 mins and 60 seconds .. instead of a metric clock. It's just how it has been done all this time. Besides, understanding how ISO is numbered, shouldn't hold you back. Photographers through all this time have been creating astonishing images, despite this handicap. ; ) Neil vN</blockquote>

I like what you have done here. Alot of work! I picked up your book on using the speedlite and can relate to the approach. I appreciate the starting point suggestions. I picked up a camera to photograph my work( check out website)as opposed to having a pro shoot it for me. It turns out I enjoy this quite a bit. Would you have a quick suggestion for a book that can explain why digital cameras use iso and not some -digital only- scale of reference??? Am not afraid of reading some math but prefer a book that can present things in a practical manner. Best! Karl Greetings Neil!
