But Austin stopping at 35 on ten rolls of film can mean throwing away a "free
roll of film!" ;-) That's the Scottish side of the family. ;-)

I just sleeve 7 strips and what's left are loaded into another sleeve. However,
quite often there are cut/throw away frames at beginning and end or through out
the roll as I'm cutting the strips, not too often, but often enough that it
works right to the 5 X 7.
