I remember the large format maker, Ron Wisner, say that whether you use sheet film or roll you end up with about the same number of good shots. I think he was right. With different format cameras, you work differently.

Shoot first, sort through sheets of negatives later! More fun, more learning, more time in the darkroom or at the scanner. I've started thinking of the roll as the unit, not the frame. I remember my photo teacher in high school handing me a roll and telling me that I've got 36 chances for one good picture. Good odds.E.

I think that its best to engage the senses before the shutter. Which means the symphony of timing, composing, visualisationetc and then the shutter. A film first approach seems to be point, shoot and hope for the best.
