I try desperately not to "chimp," but it's hard. But I definitely don't
'edit,' if by that you mean delete on the spot. The only deleting I do - as
the card gets full - is to dump any grossly under or over exposed, or
severely out of focus images. Otherwise, I save everything as I would
negatives. I too, like the smell of film. But if I really need a fix, I can
always buy a roll and sniff it. As to putting film on reels - different
strokes for different folks. ;-)
