Ye gods.  I get about 500 pictures on a $100 1 gig CF with a 8 megapix
Nikon.  Sometimes I can shoot that many on a single charge.  How much
space and money is consumed by 14 rolls of 36 exposure 35mm?  Next time 
you look for film, look for memory cards.  They're there, too.

You like analog cameras and lots of pictures?  Great, take one 
along with your digital.  You're stingy with film and you don't even
realize it.  You won't be with digital.
