The magazines were drum scanning transparencies and they were set for Kodachrome or Ektachrome. Velvia had to be filtered in many cases.

The amount of film I used depended on the girl. If she was good and teen we used 10 rolls per scene. Then split the sets into plastic pages, one set for UK, one for US, one for Seventeen usually in their T -Shirl for most and then a set for EU or AU. Japan took second rights sets we resorted when the US or UK mag returned a set. It was a small but lucrative market, but didn't need to get in first.

And that was the secret. If you were able to deliver a brand new good girl first to a magazine your had a guaranteed sale. Had shooters moan at me because Eva and I had shot a girl to death and they couldn't sell what they had shot.

On a Readers Wives, Amateur or Mature lady we shot less. Sometime 3 rolls sometimes 6.

On a BG or GG we would shoot up to 15 rolls.

A roll of Kodachrome was $15, by the time we bought it and paged it up. Developing was in the price.

Digital slashed the film bill by a stroke. The cost of the camera was soon made up with the saving in film. Plus all we did was burn discs for duplicate sets. LOL
