Not really a matter of need but of availability. I'm pretty sure that  
if they'd been shooting digital they would have, when appropriate,  
checked on the progress and quality of their work. Being pro's they  
would not have done it if it meant losing the next shot; but when the  
opportunity was available without losing a shot. Personally, when I  
pick up the camera, and/or arrive at a location, whenever possible I  
shoot a test and insure that the settings are appropriate for my  
goals, adjust accordingly, and proceed with the shoot without  
checking back. No different than testing film and developer before  
moving ahead with serious work - or polaroids - when practical.
