- I don't know if 72 exposure film is destined to be that popular myself
- (but a nifty specialty option nonetheless). Certainly, the average
- shooter has trouble going through a roll of 36 in a single day (and
- still have time to *talk* to the people s/he's shooting :-).
-
- For people who do their own developing, it may be difficult to handle
- such a long strip of film. Most of the people I know who do their own
- B&W developing keep their film down to 20 or 24 exposures. Come to
- think of it, something would have to change with respect to the
- developing reels...
