How much film do you carry when out shooting just for the day or a few
hours? This question was prompted by someone on the list mentioning
that s/he went out with only one roll of fast film in the camera.
So, what do you carry for a typical, enjoyable day with your camera
Well it depends what I'm doing. When I go out for a serious shoot I'll take
maybe six rolls. Mostly Velvia or a 100 asa kodak or fuji slide film and
maybe a couple rolls of print film 100 to 200 asa. usually two or three
camera bodies

Not only that but if you're carrying one speed of film make it 100 asa. I
think 400 is way too fast for everyday shooting. You are losing so much
colour and sharpness by using 400 speed film all the time. Try 100 asa or
even some slow 50asa slide film. You'll notice a huge difference...

Hi, Bob,
Wasn't planning on it. Whenever I do it, it will likely be with Tri-X (or
maybe HP5+). I know Tri-X is pullable (at least, so I've heard).

And they just got covered with 6 inches of snow last night. What sort of

but I have not had problems with film going bad - I just shot out a roll of
11 month old Provia F 400 that had been stored un-refrigerated and saw no
problems.

Yes, but this is one advantage of having more than one body ready at
any given time - one can have color film in one body and b&w in the
other, for example, o

Addendum to my first post:
Sometimes I only take one camera. Then I usually just have one roll in the
camera and a spare roll in my pocket. I also usually stuff a second lens in
a pocket too in this case.

Right now, I've got the following...
1 Kodachrome 25 - 36 exp
1 Fugi 800 - 36 exp
1 Kodak Royal Gold 100 - 24 exp
4-6 Ektachrome SW200?(100?) - 36 exp which I am trying out.
The camera is loaded with the SW200.
Strategy varies by season and shooting situation.
I'll carry a main film of 4 rolls o
buy more film than I want at a time. .

I tend to carry 3 or 4 rolls of B&W, with a roll or two of colour (that I
rarely, if ever use) in 35. I'll also have 3 or 4 rolls of B&W 120. If I
take out the Graphic, I only have four exposures (two carriers).

I'd not considered the new cameras with fast shutter speeds. Out of
sight, out of mind, I guess. Most of the time I'm using cameras with a
top speed of 1/1000, but rarely ever use anything faster than 1/500.
New cameras have speeds of up to 1/8000 these days, don't they?

Just to clarify a point, I find it too confusing to shoot with more than
one speed at a time, so if using more than one body they each contain
the same film. But I carry more than one speed to cover changes in the
