It takes me a bit of time to burn threw a roll shooting a majority of multiple exposures.
Sometimes I hold a shot for days in camera until the second shot comes along.
So three cameras and some time...
Thanks for everyone's participation! Looks like 2 or 3 cameras loaded at one time is pretty common. When I'm keeping things lean that's about right for me. Usually it's 1 camera with 100 iso color film, 1 camera with 400 iso B+W film, and 1 Polaroid camera loaded up with either Fujifilm FP3000B or FC100C.
By the way, I forgot we recently purchased a Fujifilm Instax 210 for a birthday party earlier this summer. It now sits on our kitchen counter loaded and ready for the occasional family shot (this morning it was my 3 year old wearing mom's reading glasses). I guess that makes 9 for me!
I like to shoot candid / decisive moment photographs and I think this is one reason I end up with so many loaded cameras. It works well for me to have loaded cameras with me and/or around me all the time so I'm ready to snap when an image presents itself.
Pikapig: Agreed, I really enjoy getting older rolls back from the lab and their associated surprises.
axiom: I would be inclined to count each film back, but having never shot using film backs I really couldn't say? Up to you…
Thanks again for all the votes! I was curious about this issue...
Super Ikonta A (531)- Provia 400x
Nikon S3- Tri-X
Nikon F- T-Max
Olympus XA- Tri-X (it's been in there for a while.. I'm only half way through the roll)
Rollei 35- Tri-X
Right now, my Nikon F4, F100, Contax G1, Voigtlander Bessa L, and Mamiya 645 all have film loaded. Only the Nikon FG and the Franka Rolfix are left out.
Maybe more cameras I fire an occasional shot with, but those do not actually count.
EDIT: I load with Rollei Retro 100 and 400S, Kodak EDUPE slide film for crossing, Kodacolor200, Schlecker 200 and 400, Kodak Portra 160VC and 400VC in 120 and 220.
