    Well I assume you are the guy who has to print the negatives. That's a pretty important person who should say different if need be.

    Also, are you using the same film, lighting, subjects, and chemicals?

    How about the same printing materials, chemicals, and methods as Weston?

    If not Weston's choices aren't necessarily right or even relevant to you. (They aren't necessarily wrong either.)
