Apart from pros like Ted et al., are you really shifting enough film through those very expensive gizmos? And is your real 'Keeper' strike rate any better than mine? I'd hate to learn that most of you are happy with those miserable, maladjusted prints you get back from the lab. <<< I'm clearly an amateur. No maladjusted prints for me! It's camera-shaken, d***-the-critter-blinked, why-did-I-take-that Kodachromes for me! My keep rate runs close to 1 or 2 per 36; quantity varies greatly, in fact there were a few years I committed the worst possible crime against my tools and let the collect dust, but there are also times when 5 rolls was a light day. The R's can handle far more use than I give 'em but without them I wouldn't be using Leica glass. Without Leica glass and Kodachrome my use would drop to zero.
