Since when is it necessary for a film photographer to take lots of pictures? I went out today and took pictures using a Stereo Realist camera. I did one roll. I was deliberate in my stereo photography so get the best effect. Sorry I won't make my local film processor happy by not taking lots and lots of pictures.
