I find that I have been pretty consistent with getting
about one good image per 80 square inches of film
shot. Usually when shooting 35mm I like about one
frame per roll, when shooting 120, I end up liking one
frame per roll, and with 4x5 about 1 in four is a
keeper. I am thinking of going to 8x10 so that I
never take any bad shots any more!
