How often do you want to re-load the camera?  Let's see, focus bracketing at 3 points, exposure bracketing +1 stop to -1 stop in half-stops = 5 exposures per focus point, totals 15 negatives per composition.  I'd need to pull my kids' little red wagon behind me just to haul all that film around.  What about getting it right the first time?
