As such I can't guarantee that I will finish/process any one roll in a week and it seems a waste of sorts to ditch frames to make a weekly deadline (for a non-pro). The multiple bodies problem should only be a problem at startup. Even if you have a three week turnaround time, this week's shutter click will be the picture of the week three weeks from now. Just shoot enough to finish a roll in one of the bodies each week. Remember, the challenge said: You have too much equipment and don't shoot enough pictures. I will probably be late when I am grading term papers or away at a conference. You wont get fired or banished from the list if you are late. I am still shooting mostly Nikon equipment, and am trying to make it through the year without a new equipment purchase. If I manage a picture a week and no new equipment this year, I plan on rewarding myself with a Leica this time next year. C.R. Marshall Week one is at: http://my.voyager.net/~cmarshal/pow2001.htm
