Although I keep an exact tally, I only total up once a year but this will be near enough:

Each year, on a trip (usually 10 days, this year 14 days) overseas I typically use 6 x 36 exposure films a day, of which about half are panoramic format, and the total over the rest of the year is of the same order.

All are E6 35mm reversal. For the last three years I have been using a superb film, no longer made: Centuria Chrome, ISO 100. Just a few films (4 or so) were Provia 400X Pro.

Oh man, that is such bad news. Any insurance?
Here is hoping at least the film didn't get lost:
that's the new Ektar, isn't it?


I have a rider on my homeowner's, but I decided not to put in
a claim. The $400 or so isn't worth risking a black mark on
the homeowner's policy. I've learned my lesson, though, and will
be switching to a "real" Personal Inland Marine Policy instead of a
rider.

The film was the new Ektar, and I think I had 11 shots in the can. I
was able to rewind the roll, so I'll find out today or tomorrow what
I've got. I bought two rolls, so my FA may come out to play pretty
soon.

My shooting tally should also include 2 rolls of Fuji Nexia 100. I
use a Pronea S as a "car camera."

Never tried the APC films. Carrying around
a little Oly mju zoom weatherproof camera, off
ebay. With superia 400 it's one sweet go everywhere
little number. Lens could be sharper on tele but then
again, for 10 bucks I can't complain.
I love my dig f31fd p&s but this thing is as
good as.

Good luck with the FA!

Not a single roll of film.

Just 83 plates of 4x5 and 6 packs of polaroid as test shots!!!

The first full year (naught zero) after I quit my day job and switched to
slides I took 659 rolls. That was a learning year (lots of travel and
workshops). Then 4-500/year for 3 years, then 150/year since. Now if I do
get a digital camera soon (prolly will), then there will be another learning
year.

I never really thought much about the cost of film & developing, as it was a
necessity. But I do think about the time to edit them. So I'm not sure
I'll really have a huge increase when they're digital images. Maybe more
bracketing, just to be sure.

What have others found? When you switched to digital, did you greatly
increase the number of pictures per year?

Well done Alan!
You are indeed doing your part to keep the economy going.


Sorry, response to Allen's post, not Riches, what do you find is the
difference between the various Velvia's and Provia?

I shoot a bare fraction of what you do. However, if I were allowed only one
film it would be Provia 100F (for 35mm). If I include any sky with Velvia
50 I get burnt out clouds, even if the subject is too dark. Got on better
with one of the Velvia 100's.

Pity I can't project 6x6, as I've gone the other way and ususally settle on
Kodak Portra (the natural colour one) for 6x6! Perhaps I ought to
try "super slides" (40mm square mounts) if I can get them as a second best.

Pete

A huge increase in number of frames shot, but also a huge
DECREASE in "keepers". For the first few months or so I was
still coming to grips with the different exposure / settings
etc. Plus I find I tend to shoot lazy with digital -
something I'm trying to work on. If I leave my digital gear
at home and take the film gear only, I'll find I come home
with far fewer photos, but probably more keepers, and an
overall better batch of photos.
Digital is superb for snapshots of places we visit, snapping
away at the kids etc - stuff that I probably wouldn't bother
taking with the film camera, but that gives a good
collection of family memories.
