One of the hardest jobs I've had lately was photographing kids in a
playground for McDonalds.  I took 12 rolls of film with the R6.2 and R8 and
got 10 good photos that could be enlarged to 20x14.  I liked some of the
ones that showed the blur of the kids moving, but they wanted tack
sharp.  I was exhausted after two hours following the kids around!
