    How many per month?

    Hi all......

    Was just curious about how many rolls and sheets do you people shoot in a month?

    Concerns more about the costs you incur per month. I shoot only one or two (negs) 35mm roll per month though recently i haven't shot any . I am starting self developing soon so i may be shooting more
    INR 20(dev)+100(scan)= Rs 120 ~~ US$ 2.6 !
    1Hour process.

    What about you people? Maybe we can get some kind of statistics here

    In summer: around 10 rolls per month, in winter around 2.

    About 50 rolls per year, so roughly 6 per month. Really it's more like 15 rolls in 2 weeks and then a roll per month for a few months.
    f/22 and be there.

    Last year I shot about 210 rolls of 120, and maybe 50 sheets 4x5. Probably 80% color negative.

    I do my own processing in a Jobo; costs me about $2.50-3.00 a roll for the chemistry.

    Like a roller coaster, 10 or 12 a week for few weeks, and 1 per month for 2 or 3 months.

    I am more active over the summer an less in the winter. I usually shoot and develop my film in the summer and print in the winter.
    - Note to self: Next time processing a film, take notice of the shape of the beer bottle and the shape of the fixer bottle, and note the differences. -

    First, classification: hobbiest who wants to see if I can capture what I think I see of the world. Photography doesn't make me any money. Money lets me do photography.

    I got restarted this summer (2009) with a goal/expectation of shooting 2 rolls of 135 per week. I did that the first week, and not since. I have a test roll of FP4 in a "new" camera that I think works correctly. It has been there for about a month, and I still have 6 frames left.

    I have an ungodly backlog of stuff needing to be printed.

    So somewhere between 1/2 and 3 rolls per month, combination of 135, 127 and 120.

    On weekends I do most of my shooting. 1 two 2 rolls a day, sometimes more if I stumble upon something interesting. I have a small camera with me on weekdays (XA, Contax T, etc.) but only shoot 1 or 2 rolls per week.
    On vacations I shoot a lot. Maybe 60 or 70 rolls over a few weeks (B&W and slides.)
    Those who know, shoot film

    Between 135 and 120 film, I shoot maybe 2-4 rolls total per month.

    I average between 50-100 rolls (35mm and 120) a year, but that is largely due to travel. If I took the travel part out of it, probably one roll per month on average. I don't usually shoot for the sake of shooting, although that's a little different this year as I am trying the 'photo a day challenge', mostly for myself, and hopefully to get me thinking more about the subjects I want to shoot and learning the intricacies of the camera(s) that I shoot them with.

    Since I started the "Photo A Day" challenge I notice that it has increased.
