Originally posted by Jonathan Mac I avoid rolls of anything other than 35 exposures. Anything else costs more per frame both for film and development and, if it's a B&W roll, takes me exactly the same time to develop myself.
Yes, but you waste money on negative holders. I tend to get 37 or 38 on a 36 roll, and anything more than 35-36 exposures won't fit on a single sheet!
I tend to bulk-load shorter rolls just because a) I'm impatient and b) I like to shoot with different cameras, so I'm always eager to move on to the next one.

Originally posted by craveone After messing around with it I finally went from f2.8 to f22 and tried it. I guess I had a different idea of what DOF view was. I thought for some reason at f2.8 it would show you what would be in focus and what wouldn't. for me being a n00b, could you explain why one would need DOF view at f22?
Well, @Craveone, technically you wouldn't.
At f/22 pretty much everything should be in focus... though not close stuff if you have your lens focused on infinity.
Basically, wide-open the DOF preview should do nothing, because the lens is wide open. At f/22 when you press it the image should get much darker, and you should see more in focus. The longer the lens the more pronounced the effect (I've already forgotten what lens you're doing this with).
I *think* that with a longer lens focused close, the DOF is shallow even at smaller apertures... but I'm ashamed to say I don't remember. I rarely shoot with anything longer than a 50 nowadays.
