Very true. I remember reading a reply to a question that was asked in
one of
the photo magazines why they didn't publish frequency of repair information.
The magazines reply was that without also knowing how and how much a camera
was used it was not particularly useful information. They recount a story of
a serviceman that had a hasselblad show up twice in a 9 month period for
service after asking a few question he found out that they were putting 600
rolls of film a day thru it. If it's a true story or an urban legend I don't
know, but it does illustrate the extremes of usage out there.
Maybe that would be an interesting survey on the list. Just how many
film/
photos we each take in a month. Last year I think I shot one roll because
work turned completely to cr*p This year I expect to average about 2 rolls
per month.
