I tend to only think along the lines of thumb powered lengths of film. As Don added, those volumes add up quickly in professional film stock. I'm looking forward to seeing a series from you when the project is complete.

Woah, thanks for putting that into perspective. This is for a year long project I'm doing with a local ballet studio and it was my first official visit as documenteur, as it were. It certainly taught me a few things about what I'm going to be looking for in the future. The first edit is down to about 120 and that will go way down. I hope to get maybe 10 keepers there. I used every lens I own except the 28 CV. Had a bit of dust get onto the sensor - the spotting feature in LR is fantastic for this. The CV15 ended up providing a stellar view of the ballet class. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
