Adams, Weegee etc. didn't "motor" x rolls with 36 pix each in their LF cameras. But, their pix are still touching. On the other side, there are some exceptions, specially in color photography: Sometimes you need to take several pix with just 1/3 of an f-stop apart to get exactly the desired emotional impact of a certain subject. Paul Fusco describes this in detail in his comment on his Life series, in which his own children discover earth (taken with the M Super Angulon). Alf
