I would have liked to have had 2 more bodies for work and a 3rd for some personal B&W.. I use 100 and 400 color neg and color slide film... For photographing a mobile medical clinic, some rooms have enough light; some are as dark as all get-out.... I'm shooting in both situations all throughout the day so switching films is pointless. And I won't shoot anything on 400 ASA film unless I have no other choice. I spend way too much time changing lenses and it would have been nice to have had two cameras with the same film in them... but then again.. I can only carry so much gear. I've had enough stuff not work when it should have to always bring 2 of anything that is indespensible. I also try to pack two seperate bags of camera gear so in case one gets stolen somewhere along the way.... I have a workable kit in the other along with enough of each type of film and batteries etc. Duane Birkey HCJB World Radio Quito Ecuador Duane's Photographs of Ecuador http://duane_birkey.tripod.com
