How many cameras do you have loaded with film right now?

[Sirius Glass]

None. the film is only loaded just prior to a shooting session and after the session, the film is immediately processed.

I no longer do that since I stop taking photographs when I have run out of subject matter. I will not shoot off frames just to finish a rolls.

Back then I would even have the film processed at the end of the day regardless how many frames are left on the roll. Not now. Can't afford it.

 

[Cholentpot]

I am proud to say zero right now.

I'll be loading up again tomorrow but right now I finished the Fujica Half and Spotmatic II today. I'm on pace to hit 150+ rolls this year.

I can afford it, but it would be a crime to waste film when others have to make sacrifices to get in today's climate.

 

[traveler_101]

One. 135-36. I plan on taking some street shots tomorrow. Can’t see finishing the roll though. Given up on forcing myself to finish a roll per outing.

I remember when I was about 10. It was in the mid 60's and I could only afford a roll of Plus X (Tri X was too expensive) in few months. I think I am going back to that mode now.

Two.
- Minolta SRT-101 with Delta 100
- Minolta 16 MG-S with Kodak Vision 2 250D (expired since about 2010/2011)

Note: First time reloading a Minolta 16 cartridge, it went smoother than I'd expected.

 

[JerseyDoug]

Just one - a Leica IIIf with a 12-exposure roll of HP5 in a FILCA cassette.

 

[benjiboy]

All five of them.

 

[Sirius Glass]

Still way to many.

I typically have 3 or 4 loaded. I keep an A-1 loaded with Kodak Gold 200 just for general use around the house when family visits. My F-1N will usually have a roll of either FP4+ or Ektar in it. There's usually a Zorki with some Kentmere 100 loaded for fun and I've often got another roll of K100 in a camera that I'm testing. Sometimes I get bored and will load up a quick 15 or 20 frames of the K100 just to try out a different developer or something.

Right now, at this moment? The Canon A-1 and the F-1N are loaded. In an hour, I'll probably have a roll in another A-1 that I'm going to test.

 

[RalphLambrecht]

none. I only load film just before using a camera and usually finish the roll fairly quickly, followed by immediate processing.

 

[diawjddnr1]

I have a few cameras but for 35mm format I only loaded Kodak portra 400. on my leica MP.
The others are just sitting on my shelf,,

 

[Mr Flibble]

A Zeiss Contax D with a roll of Fomapan 100

And a couple of 4x5" sheet film holders loaded with Ilford HP5

 

[loccdor]

I try not to keep film loaded before I know the shooting conditions. That decides which camera to take and which film to use. Sunny needs a lower contrast film. Cloudy needs a higher contrast. Rain or snow needs a rig with good weather sealing.

On planning a trip to Greece in summer, I already know it's going to be sunny every single day so it's not a problem to decide my films months in advance. Here is my bag for this year.

Honorable mention to forum member @MCB18 for the 220 Aviphot. I haven't had a chance to try it yet but it's in the queue.

# my N50, N90s, F4

 

[AnselMortensen]

I don't usually keep my cameras loaded with film, but right now my N90s has a partially-exposed roll of Cinestill 400D in it.

 

[FriedLouisStudio]

I have three cameras loaded now, which is the most I've had loaded at one time in decades.

I've got Tri-X in a Nikkormat FTN, and Double-X (FFP's X2) in two Olympus half-frames, a Pen S and Pen F.

 

[Arthurwg]

Leica IIIF, Tti-X. Elmar 50mm F3.5, but will also use may 28mm Hector.

 

[Philippe-Georges]

A few roll film backs of different formats (6x6 and 6x9) and emulsions (Hp5+ and SFX200), I don't like to spill film by winding to the end not fully exposed film, I would rather be patient (if waiting isn't to long)...

 

[moggi1964]

Four:

Exa 500 with Delta 100

Canon T90 with Kodak 200

Mamiya C3 with HP5+

MPP MkVII with Fomapan 200

I have quite a few cameras and different films so I can always load up something different if the conditions don't suit what is already loaded.

 

[Nicholas Lindan]

Exa 500 with Delta 100

Someone else shooting this chunky wonder!

Mine is loaded with Tri-X. I'm trying to relive my youth - it was my first SLR at the age of 14.

Presently loaded (this is embarasing):

Exakta/Exa 500 - Tri-X
Nikon FM2 - Technical Pan
Nikon F3 - Ektar 100
Nikon F2 - TMax TMZ 3200
Nikon N75 - Portra 400
Yashica T4 Super/T5 - TMax TMX 100
Yashica T4D Super/T5D - Portra 400
Yashica 635 TLR - Old Arista 125 (Ilford FP4)
Zeiss Nettar 6x6 - Rollei IR

 

[Pioneer]

Surprisingly enough I have no cameras loaded with film right now. But I will almost certainly fix that problem before I leave the house today.

Of course I do have several 4x5 and 8x10 film holders loaded with film so I could be ready to shoot one of my large format cameras pretty quickly.

 

[brian steinberger]
