Nah. I remember endless frustration. Either I had one camera and the film speed
I wanted at the moment wasn't in it, or
I had to carry two cameras with different films in them.
Of course you could, if shooting Ektachrome, as I recall doing at least once,
switch to a higher speed and use EX
processing. Then the earlier shots on the roll were likely ruined - and you
ended up with huge, ugly grain.
Then there was rolling back a partially used roll, switching, then later using
the rest of the partial roll. If I
remembered or noted correctly, I might only lose one frame. If shooting
professionally, I suppose simply switching when
needed and losing the latter part of the roll was no big deal. For a young man
on a limited amateur budget, it did matter.
