    Seems a little too film-based, I would have liked less Developer and Stop Bath and more modifiers. i.e. Beauty Dish, Ring Light, Striplight, Snoot, Grid, etc
    And you can’t forget Lr and Ps :)

    I guess this table was created when it was common knowledge that the earth was flat since it’s lacking apertures of ƒ/1.2, ƒ/1.0 & ƒ/.95 as well as shutter speeds faster than 1/1000
