115+ rolls this past year and 125+ the year before. I'm shooting as fast as I can.
You kids need to get out there and shoot more. You're becoming film collectors....
;p
If color developing was easier with not a need to be specific in temps, I'd do it at home and shoot more as a result. My B&W shooting has increased, because I can do it all at home. So for color I am more specific when I use it, and then send it to a lab. My issue is trying to find new things to shoot, as I often get bored doing the same pics over and over again.
You have 10 fingers and 10 toes. That's almost a full roll.
And for the last 4 shots, Im sure I can find some appendage to shoot them on.
But no, wait. I use 36 rolls.
As for 36. We got digits you know.
36 has always been too much for me. I am perfectly happy with 12 frames per roll.

Use a motor drive.
Or do what this Leica expert does - ignore Leica's very simple, very basic, very easy to understand instructions and waste 5 or 6 shots per roll loading the film.

With film, I scan everything up, since making chemical prints isn't possible for me in my current home. Love to have a darkroom, but I have no space or light tight bathroom here. I rent too, so its not like I can modify the place.
The box of ten 35 mm microfilm reels arrived today. They are all loaded with various images of the New York Times and assorted other newspapers but for twenty four bucks including shipping, a minor inconvienence. I had a roll of 5222 from Photo Warehouse in the refigerator. They're shipped without a spool or a core, just one hunded feet of film in a bag inside a can. Opened up the changing tent, sat down with the film and an empty reel and within twenty minutes it was loaded onto the reel ready for the bulk loader. Bring on the four hunded footers! I'm ready for my close up Mr DeMille!
Threw away the microfilm, didn’t really need a 1957 copy of the NYT, I just wanted the reel. The NYT ran their own microfilm company and since everything has been digitized, they sold off all of the reels of microfilmed copies of the past issues. One hundred feet of 35 mm film fills a reel. Eventually, the plan is for a 400 foot roll of Double XX loaded on to the empty microfilm reels.How do you develop your microfilm? I've used Rodinal in the past, long stand no agitation.
