RE: Eclair Cameras: 7218?

[Chris Leong <emotepix@artnet.net>]

Hi Mark
Thanks for the suggestion. When shooting 35mm and using 400ft loads I 
worked out a system whereby the longer takes were either good or all 
thrown away, thereby saving on neg dev costs. I had eight 400ft mags 
then, I have 4 200fters now, will rent another 2-4 for the shoot, and 
will probably use them all. 
But then again, I grew up shooting 3:1 and timing everything out before 
and during rehearsals, and, silly me, I still shoot video tape that 
way...
Thanks again!
Cheers
Chris
