Different film speeds, always the wrong lens on the wrong body, running out of the wrong kind of film at the wrong moment. Ack! Two bodies with the same film is terrific. The only thing better is one body, one film, one lens, but that takes more courage. (of course Gene Smith found another solution... FIVE bodies... color and BW, wide and long lenses for each, plus one spare. But he was nuts). - -- John Brownlow http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
