Likewise, working with a pregnant mother who wanted some nudes to
remember her pregnancy, it was very useful to review exposures as we
went along after a few shots at a time were made. It made her feel
more comfortable with the session, and also helped me identify to her
which postures, expressions and gestures proved to be most pleasing.

If I'm shooting an extended session with a model, we usually stop
after six to ten shots and chimp together. I find this very helpful
in working out the best poses and shot angles. And a break every
now and then keeps both of us fresh and gives me a chance to redirect.

Personally I'd just download the images to a computer or the like
during a break in the session - it's a lot easier to review what
you have on a decent-sized screen. But that's still much better
than having to re-shoot the next day because of an unfortunate
blink (or fly, or ...). And that's assuming a reshoot is possible.

Stopping to
examine the screen after every shot, or every few shots, can have a
deleterious effect on a photo session. But, I guess for some,
that's the
new, modern way ...

The rangefinder doesn't change the outcome but it does allow the
photographer to be aware of what he's caught on film, and that
knowledge
can make the difference between a keeper or a tosser ;-))
Digital, of course, let's you see exactly what you caught,
immediately.
Otherwise it's hard to be sure if that blink you spotted results
in a
sultry expression, with eyes half closed, or a blank, eyeless shot.
