As just as hobbiest, i have too many cameras with film in.
I found it is inconvenient to go out with a camera that has just a few photos left on the roll.
To minimize depletion of the C41 kit per roll, - I use Rollei Digibase - what is best : ??
- Wind off the roll with frames un-exposed ?
- over-expose each frame to white while winding off ?
- expose normally while winding off ?
Gracias

If you are reusing the solutions, then the presumption from the manufacturer of the chemistry would be that each run would process a whole roll of average exposures.

Whenever you think of any test shots which you want to try out, or record photos which you need, make a note. then, when you want to finish a few frames of a film, just use the film up that way.

Perhaps not the answer you are looking for, but perhaps sell some cameras.

I have 1 for each medium that I shoot, makes life a lot easier, although perhaps a little less flexible.
