With any luck at all, you'll find an instructor who'll be helpful in that 
respect. 

You can often contact the instructor before signing up (at least here their 
phone numbers are even on the web page describing the course), so if you want 
to ask first about any special needs, do so. 

Classes are usually fairly small: Unless you have the bad luck of ending up in 
one which has in effect become an ongoing social club with the same people 
repeatedly attending (a minority, though it did happen to me once), people will 
probably be friendly and helpful.

Chris, thanks, I'm on it.  May be a technical language issue, however.

I love the 19mm second version, but it's not cheap, even used.

Question:  are any of you aware of a specially recognized BW film workshop?  
I'd like to shoot my Hasselblad 500CM and my Leica R8.  Obviously, I want to 
avoid a class full of Canon/Nikon/Sony full frame digital shooters based upon 
my assumption that I will be much, much slower than them because of the 
different formats and automation.  So, I will scour the internet for a BW film 
shooting trip/workshop.  But I thought I would bounce this off you pros as 
well.  

PS:  looking for a recommendation on a wide angle R-lens?  Will likely buy off 
eBay.  Erwin Puts is not too enthusiastic about the R Elmarit F2.8/24mm 
compared to other Leica lens.
