It may be annoying not knowing how many frames are in the canister. I seem to choose either 20 or 36, so I', never in doubt... You can however fill in 40 frames easily, if you want to. But then Again There's perhaps a problem of storing the developed frames. Perhaps you might want to fill each paper sheet with negatives from the same roll. IIRC a sheet will contain 42 frames. This might be a nice number of frames for one roll:-) -- Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.
