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. Quote:

How many rolls of film did you shoot in 2008?

wrote: 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." -- Mike Benveniste -- (Clarification Required) Cogito eggo sum -- I'm thinking toaster waffles for breakfast. |

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! |

How many rolls of film did you shoot in 2008?
So far this year, all 36-exposure 35 mm slides: 1 Kodak E100GX 1 Fuji Velvia 100F 4 Fuji Velvia 50 8 Fuji Provia 400X 69 Fuji Velvia 100 70 Fuji Provia 100F (most pushed 1 stop) =153 What do I win 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 -- http://www.petezilla.co.uk |

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. |
