What's the most film you ever shot in one day?

[nworth]

About 20 rolls, a mix of 120 and 220, plus some digital and some 4X5. That was on a particularly enthusiastic field trip. Usually it's about half that.

When shooting sports or action professionally (skiing for example) I would sometimes go through up to 40 rolls of 35mm 36exp in a day. Usually all velvia or provia, sometimes K25 back in the day.

I don't think I've ever shot more than two or three rolls a day, be it 35mm or 120.

Depends how one defines "roll" ...

I worked for a while doing microfilm, and we were expected to shoot 4 Rolls a day, (16mm -200ft film equivalent to AGFA Copex) at 1600 to 2000 of the worlds most boring exposures to make up a roll.

Shooting a 100 ft roll of 16mm in a movie camera is about half the film area of a 100ft 35mm Bulk roll, but at 40 frames a foot is 4000 images, that cover about 2 3/4 Minutes of action. (166 Seconds of run time at 24 Frames a second.) I have gone through 3 rolls of that in a day but with lab fees it is a bit spendy to do often.
