About 250 rolls if you don't print any. HIE usually gets me about 4 
to 6 useable shots per roll, as I tend to bracket, and total 
screw-ups are certainly not out of the question.

Actually, if you compare the results, and factor in that you can see 
the basic results right away, the number of rolls drops again. I've 
sometimes come home after shooting a roll, developed it and went out 
right away again to do it right. When time is factored in, about 25 
to 50 rolls seems more like it. Also, the results from the M8 are 
better than those from HIE.

It's certainly one of the main attractions of the M8 for me.
