how many are loaded?

Chan Tran · Dec 25, 2012

If the cameras are at home and I don't plan to take pictures then none of them are loaded. If I carry a number of cameras for an outing or trip then all of them are loaded.

I keep a Rollie 35SE loaded and with me most of the time.

TomNY · Dec 26, 2012

2 35mm SLRs, Fuji 645zi and a 2A Model F Brownie with 120.

Oh and I can't forget my instax wide and instax mini !

From smallest format to largest format;

10X14mm, Minolta 16II, 2 cameras loaded

18X24mm, Olympus Pen half frame cameras, various models, 2 cameras loaded

24X36mm, RF's SLR's, various, 3 cameras loaded

56X56mm (AKA 6X6) 2 cameras loaded

56X84mm (AKA 6X9) 2 cameras loaded

4X5, 2 film holders loaded (out of 8 film holders)

Now I'm sorry you made me count all that up. It's embarrassing.

Right now - thankfully - only 1!!! I like to get a roll shot so i can process it. That said, that 1 roll is in my Mamiya RB67 and i desperately *need* to dig up some inspiration to finish off the 3 or 4 exposures on it....

Five, all loaded.
Canon EOS 300 with HP5
"" "" FP4
'' '' PanF
Spotmatic II HP5
Rollei B35 HP5
I can't remember the last time a film was in a body for more than 2 weeks before it was finished, so it should be ok.

See, that's what I try to do, but for the most part convince myself not to cut rolls short... For an amateur like me, film is too expensive to not shoot the entire roll, or most of it anyway.

An Olympus rc with panatomic x, a canon vt with fp4+, and a canon Demi s that seems to always be loaded with trix or tmax400 (this one takes forever to shoot with 72exp a roll). Only my cameras I don't use often have film loaded in them. I like to finish the rolls at the end of the day/night when possible.

A Kowa SixMM with some Portra 400 and a Pentax KX with Fuji Pro 160S. I've had a roll of re-spooled Acros in the fridge for a while now, I'm thinking of taking it out soon and loading up the Kodak Reflex II.

Interesting thread.

I've got 2 of 3 35mm bodies with film loaded. I'm sure it's not the best environment for film but I've processed a roll out of an old ricoh with gaffer tape holding it together after 5 years and it looked fine. So, I don't sweat it too much

Salem · Jan 5, 2013

I stopped loading cameras with film unless I'm taking one for an outing because of the following:
1- I forget what type of film is loaded in which camera.
2- I like to keep the time between film-in-the-fridge and film-in-spiral-tank to a minimum. usually less than 12 hours.
3- when I'm bored I like to play with the cameras, cleaning them inside and out, dry firing the shutter and just general fondling. That, of course, would be difficult with a loaded camera.

xjken99 · Jan 10, 2013

I have two and both are loaded, one with color, one with B+W.

MrBaz · Jan 10, 2013

Fuji Across 100 in my Ricoh Singlex TLS, and some Portra 400 in my F5.

I'm just too lazy right now to go out and finish off the rolls.
