I don't have any numbers for you, but the more I use my 4x5 the less film I
take. Usually one or two Grafmatics (6 shot magazine). I'm finally at the
point where if I don't find the shot I'll go home with nothing
exposed--whereas I used to feel like I had to come home with something.
And... it saves on EEM/UT ink for proofing something I'm already not
satisfied with.
