I was a Scientific Photographer for the Geology Dept. of University College London 1963-1970 and took some photos during my Lunch Hours of Minerals in the display cabinets that Students studied -- I just found some of them, taken with a British-Made MPP MkVIII and 150mm f5.6 Symmar lens on 120 AGFACOLOR CT18, lit by Braun Hobby electronic flash heads. I got my ABIPP and ARPS Qualifications in 1970 for Geology Subjects --- I left in 1970 on £ 27 a week !
