It would behoove me to run 5-10 feet of film through
each camera (otherwise I would go broke testing all of my cameras if I shot one cartridge per roll).

I always test 4 cameras per cartridge. When I build up 4 cameras to test I use a fresh cartridge and shoot 12 feet with each one. I have doen this alot and removing a cartridge in mid roll only burns 4-6 frames of film which happens to work well as an indicator of a camera change.</font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></BLOCKQUOTE>

How do you remember which camera is which when you get back the footage?

Who sends what to whom?

I posted a while back my idea about slating each and every camera by first shooting a polaroid picture of the cameara, then in the white space below the picture writing down important info such as the serial & model number, then using the matching polaroid picture as a "slate" whenever one shoots with the camera that is in the polaroid picture.

I still like the idea, although I have never done it myself! [img]redface.gif[/img]
