Frank, I pay about $3,30 for my roll of neopan here at fotoimpex in berlin, old europe, which is rather ok... i don't know how much the roll in the states is.
if i want to go really cheap you can buy a roll of fomapan for about $2,75.
i was just refering to the idea of dumping $4000 in a digicam (about a 1000 films...) just to have that convenient feeling of never missing a shot. you can have that -winograndish- as well with film. at the moment i really like that.
well, the film does pile up sometimes...
 
The roll I finished shooting this afternoon is drying. I usually try to develop immediately. sometimes after a trip it takes a few days to catch up.
 
I voted less than 10 only because I just ran 8 this morning, leaving 7 in my 'in box'. I then proceded to shoot another 1 1/2 on a hike this afternoon. Mixed up my microphen and will tackle some of the 9, which will become 10 or 11 tomorrow. It is a never ending battle.
 
waiting for dev - 30 rolls or so at this point. I can only do 3 at a time currently.

Pro work is all done by lab, but my own tend to sit around. To my shame.
 
I'm a binge developer. I'll shoot a lot, let the rolls stockpile, then I'll get inspiration and knock out as many as possible in a day or two. I enjoy seeing the results so I don't know why I don't take time to develop as I go, but I don't. It's a case of that infamous 'one day' I guess, as in 'one day I'll get around to it!'...
 
Wow, you guys are a bunch of procrastinators! :D

It sounds like most of you shoot more than I do, but an exposed roll of film usually won't last more than a week or two in my fridge. I just can't wait that long to see my results. I had 3 rolls last week, but I'm down to 1 now.

Have just emigrated and one of the sacrifices was leaving behind my Jobo CPE2...which means I have a massive backlog of film to process and no gear! Still torn as to whether to get it shipped out (it's surprisingly big = expensive) or buy another here...

So I have most of the MF shots for my book in an unprocessed pile and all my shots from Transilvania waiting for some attention...

I more or less follow Winogrand's adagio of letting films settle down in my brain so I'm less attached to the circumstances under which the photos were taken. :)

That's probably wise, but I'm too impatient. If I ever get to shoot as much as I want to shoot, that will probably happen on it's own.
