Even the good ones screw up from time to time. One of the things I do on "last run, can't do it again" shoots is to shoot with at least two cameras so that a good selection of the material is spread out over several rolls of film. This brings up an entire subject that has been touched on several times on this list but could bear some more opinions, I think....why it's important to carry at least two cameras. Here's a reason. Anybody care to chime in on what their m/o is on a typical shooting trip? How many cameras? How many lenses? --David R.
