[...] Hi, a good strategy when you have got a REALLY good shot of something you don't want to loose is rewind immediately and put in a new film, even if you were at the start of the first one. A local PJ who is (apart from normal stuff) a lot travelling to war zones and conflict zones (he's a nice humanitarian photographer, not like some of the "vultures". www.sibik.cz for those interested IIRC), recommends this from own experience. Obviously, you than hand out the man who is pointing the Kalashnikov at you the fresh roll of film out of camera, opening the back to full light, but keep the roll picturing him killing some innocents in your vest. Digital photographers using Sony's products have it easier that the tiny Memory Sticks are easy to swallow when in pinch. My Compact Flash card gives me creeps when I imagine swallowing it... However, there's always the danger of the army officer or bandit (sometimes both together in one man) wanting to see the Mem Stick anyway... unpleasent, eeek!
