I can shoot film but how much film can I shoot? A few rolls a month what would that do me? Would it add to my body of work? I'd get images from that I'd want to carry around with my in my little 5x7 box of prints? The odds of that are zilch. I'm out shooting every day if that was film it would blow my food and entertainment budget. I like having 400 600 exposures in my camera. A roll of film that big would require a bulk back the size of a bread box; bigger. And weigh 12 pounds. I like auto ISO. Which in terms of film means I'm carry9ing around 3 bodies; One at 100iso One at 400 One at 1600 Mark William Rabiner > From: Frank Dernie <Frank.Dernie at btinternet.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Sun, 3 May 2009 19:51:01 +0100 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] 8 or 8.2 > > I don't agree with this.
