And regularly having one kind of film in one and another in the other also makes very good sense. With only 12 frames on a roll there's less to waste if changing film in mid-roll, but why waste any? Since both cameras have lenses of the same focal length and speed, that also reduces the problem. Do you have modern screens in both? Do you find any differences in the quality of the Xenar vs. the Planar or Xenotar (I don't know which you hajve in the 3.5E)? Bob > Thanks Jim and Bob.
