The sound of my cameras banging together might have the effect of slowing me down.<<< Yep Mark that clanging to-gether clutches at the heart and then one tries to wrap your arms around your body trying to keep the clanging to a minimum bash! ;-) What is surprising, is after awhile working with a bunch of cameras hanging all over the place is just a normal way to shoot with the least amount of hassle of changing lenses and film. But the worse case scenario with multi bodies is to run out of film "in all of them" at the same time .... by the way if it happens, it's always right in the heat of the battle. ;-) To avoid this, you keep a sharp eye on how many frames are left in each and as soon as it gets down to the least number on a camera, you make a quick change to new roll before the roll is completed.. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
