Hi Jim, If I may? ;-) OK a little tip from my film days! Film and running out this may help? I always had a roll of film in my pants' pocket that I never used until all the film in the bag or photo-vest was gone. I rarely ever had to use it other than a couple of times in 60 years! But it was a back-up roll not to be used unless in absolute panic mode! Never thought about it!! You don't think about it being in your pocket as a roll to use. So you shoot according to what you have in bag or vest. Even when you take the last roll out of the bag....... "YOU DO NOT THINK ABOUT HAVING A BACK-UP ROLL!" The roll you've just taken out of your bag is.... "the last roll" so use it accordingly!" It's all psychological to make you use the film you know you have, 20 or 30 rolls in vest and bag as the assignment starts. That's your working film and you shoot around that! It's like wearing a bullet proof vest! You always hope you'll never have to use it! So the roll of film is of the same cut of thought. Most days you will remove it from pocket when you arrive home. Same as BP-vest! I hope this helps for the next go around of naked and strange people photography! ;-) cheers, ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Shulman" <jshulman at judgecrater.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2012 8:59 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] PESO: Papoose > This was the fourth annual Naked Bike Ride in Philadelphia, covered by the > local papers.
