[LargeFormat] changing tent vs readyloads

[Les Newcomer]

After day 5 of shooting from pre-dawn to post-dark,  How are you going to 
feel about coming into the hotel room, dog tired, and haul the film 
holders,film and tent in and sit down and spend another 45minutes  getting 
ready for the next day?  Are you going to say, "I saved a lot of money 
this way"   or "Boy am I glad I bought those readyquick loads".
	Shooting 5x7 on the road, I learn to love my Harrison tent, but after 
a while I could find more pleasureable things to do besides log in film 
and reload for the next day.

Now if I were in your situation and my wife were coming, I'd have to get 
the readyquick loads to make space for her shoes.
