When I first worked in a commercial lab in the early 1970's we had a
customer, then in his 80's who had been a local commercial
photographer. There was a story that circulated about him and
development by inspection. The guy was always smoking a cigar. In
the darkroom he used the glow from the cigar to inspect his sheet film
when he developed it. When panchromatic emulsions became more common
he had problems at first, because he insisted on using his "old"
methods in the darkroom (he was kind of stubborn).
