I use a little bag just for film - a quick inventory of the current contents:
Velvia - 4 rolls E100S - 6 rolls E100VS - 2 rolls E200 - 4 rolls Provia F - 2 rolls Supra 100 - 2 rolls Kodak Gold 100 - 10 rolls (24 exposure) Walgreen's house film (ISO 100) - 1 roll Royal Gold 200 - 1 roll Kodak Gold 400 - 8 rolls (24 exposure) Fuji Superia 400 - 4 rolls (24 exposure) Ilford XP 2 Super - 5 rolls Fuji 800 - 1 roll (24 exposure) Fuji 1600 - 1 roll (24 exposure) The E100S followed by VS and Velvia are my bread and butter films. I do like print film, and especially grainy print film, for some botanical work - hence the Gold 100. The Supra is for hard lighting that will exceed the latitude of slide film. I recently pulled all the traditional B&W and put it back into the freezer - a temporary measure until I get some sort of home developing setup in place. Otherwise I'd have 5 or rolls of that in there too. I don;t carry all this with me - once I arrive at the scene and decide what to shoot I grab the film that seems right and head out with that, ether in a photo vest pocket, backpack, or belt bag. I mark the cannisters when I add film to the bag to keep things rotated, but I have not had problems with film going bad - I just shot out a roll of 11 month old Provia F 400 that had been stored un-refrigerated and saw no problems. - MCC At 08:28 AM 4/29/2002 -0400, you wrote: >How much film do you carry when out shooting just for the day or a few >hours?
