status of 220 manufacture?

Well to each their own. I can certainly imagine times when it's a good thing. And it's not a BAD thing in my Mamiya because I have the interchangeable backs. It's really in 35mm where I find 36 quite annoying because I seem to frequently have the "wrong" film still in the body. The answer, of course, is multiple bodies. I have an LX and an MX. My K1000 seemed to drop some foam or something right on the microprism spot and I need to get it cleaned at least before I can use it. I have more backs for my 645 than functioning 35mm bodies right now.

The "pressure to make every shot count" is one of the best quality-increasing factors in photography. I think everyone should go out occasionally with one roll of 120 or, better yet, a view camera and about six sheets of film. Frame a lot, trip the shutter on a few and really look first.

You can take part used films out of 35mm cameras Roger and put a more suitable one for the lighting conditions just make a note on a sticky label with a Sharpie of how many shot you have taken on it stick it on the cassette, and when you want to put it back shoot a few more blank exposures with the lens cap on.

I know. I've done it many times. I just find it a bit annoying to keep up with the partial rolls, that's all.

I used to use plus-x 220 but when T-max 120 came out I thought it was only a matter of time before they came out with T-max 220 so I kept all my 220 equipment (reels, backs, etc)....Still waiting...
