I would certainly "take Ansel Adam's opinion" on plenty of issues "beyond
zone 5 with minus development". Ansel was not "presumably a master
technician", he was definitely a master technician. I don't think it's fair
to glibly dismiss Ansel Adams as a "CALENDAR ARTIST". Ansel was an
enormously talented, creative, hard-working, and influential photographer
who produced a large body of work loved and appreciated by millions of
people. That his photographs continue to be reproduced on countless
hundreds of thousands of posters, notecards, and calendars is a testimonial
to their excellence and widespread, enduring appeal.
Best regards,
