[Leica] Using film...

[tripspud <tripspud@transbay.net>]

Hi Bill!

      I loaded 70 rolls of APX100 for my Reno daytrip to photograph
the classic cars and used about half, all still to be developed.  I
think shooting a LOT of film has advantages.  Look at Robert
Frank, Gary W. or HCB.  They shot LOTS.  And wasn't it
Gary Winogrand who didn't get around to processing some of
it?

Cheers,
