One camera at the moment. My Pentax SV is loaded with a roll of Arista EDU Ultra 100.

There were a lot more just a couple of days ago but I have been shooting quite a bit lately.

Of course this doesn't count any film holders that have film loaded just in case.

I have all five of my cameras loaded with various films, but at my current rate of usage due to lockdown, it's going to be a hell of a long time before I finish them.

Right now I have the
Nikon One Touch loaded with Kodak Gold 200 (my new favorite color film)
A Contax G2 and 139 loaded with handrolled HP5
and a Fuji TX-1 with HP5

All do slightly different things, and I love and recommend them all.

Just got rid of my Mamiya 7 because I rarely had a roll of film in it. didnt like how it made me slow down as much as it did, and all my photos came out soooo seriouuuuus. I'm sure some people will say I'm crazy, but I just love 35mm.

I am not a film guy, but i had never heard of 2x Super-8.
This was pretty interesting..........

F5: Ilford XP2
FM2n: Ilford Ortho80
Leica M4: Portra 400
Hoping to use all that in the next 3-4 weeks.

Plus 10 sheets of Portra 400 and 1 sheet Ortho80 for the 4x5. Hoping to use those sheets by end of summer the latest.

The Nikonos is empty and sitting in storage till July when it will be camera no 1 (assuming we get to go on holiday). Also, got an Agfamatic (those 110 things) on the way, so that will get loaded and used straight away! Woo hoo.

Currently running a test roll of Kodak Double-X through an Aires IIIc

Always have 2 sheet film holders for each of the four formats that I shoot loaded with the same Ilford FP4 plus film.

For roll film cameras always have 4 rolls of each of the film types that I use on the shelf at room temperature. It is an exception if I store a camera with film in it. If the camera is stored loaded with film, I wrap the camera with painters masking tape (easy to remove) and mark the tape with the date and type of film inside the camera.

Unopened film boxes stored in the freezer along with opened boxes which are inside sealed storage /freezer bags.

Any piece of equipment that uses batteries I open all them up on the first day of the month and check out all the batteries. I used to do this once per year, but a while back I had a D cell completely corrode the interior of a SEI Photometer to the point of turning the SEI into a "for parts only" piece of equipment.
