For a pro photographer, that must indeed be useful not to have all the film to lug about! Malcolm PS - One advantage to digital I have noticed is the removal of 37th frame syndrome; just as you finish a film, that one picture you want to take, which you can't and won't get, as it disappears for good in the time it takes you to put another roll of film in! If you have two cameras, it will either be inaccessible at that time or also out of film. I know :-) Malcolm
