[Leica] The "discipline" of using only one lens

[bdcolen at earthlink.net (B. D. Colen)]

Odd, but when I'm working, I DO try to make every shot count - whether
it's on a roll or 36, or a 1 gig card of apx 256 shots...They don't all
work, but I do try... ;-)

    Buzz Hausner's remark about "discipline" and having to "work harder"
when 
you have just one lens, reminds me of the AP photographers with the 4x5
Speed 
Graphic in the old days.    
   They knew they had to get one, maybe two, good shots on their
cut-film 
holder and get them back to the office fast, before the competition at
UP did. 
   That meant concentration, technique and above all speed. Technique
comes 
in knowing what your camera & lens can do. Having 36 chances to get a
good shot 
make lots of us lazy. If we knew we had to deliver with, say, just 12 
exposures, we might "work harder" to make every shot count. [A lot of
the commentary 
on the PLUG seem to look down on just shooting away in the hope of
eventually 
getting a good shot.].-- bob cole
