Lets see now, kit for vacation.
I have just come back from Venice and Florence (3 weeks). I took
ONM2sp, and OM10 bodies.
T20 Flash
f1.4 50mm Zuiko
35-70 zoom (OM2000 (zuiko), borrowed seemed flimsy but worked very well)
70-210 Zoom (Tamron)
Weston Master V
Bean Bag and monopod
36 reels of 400ASA Fuji (mistake far too fast for Italy swapped to 200
ASA)In a lead lined box (homemade).
Sony Mavica digital Camera
and
a Leica M6 with 28mm Elmarit as a point and shoot. (50th birthday present,
with a card which said, You've had enough toy cameras (OLYMPUS), have a real
one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......
Filters UV, Polarising and ND is all I ever carry.
Most used KIT?.....Well afraid to say the Leica lovely to use, swine to
change films. followed by OM10 with the 70/210.
The Sony was heavily used in interiors, where 'no flash' where permitted.
Next time though I will use 100 ASA film, as the light levels where far
higher than I expected (last week April and first 2 in May).
Weight was all, so left winders, tripods, OM4, 500mm lens, recorda backs etc
at home.
OM2sp used once only Jammed. I am going off this body in a big way. Think
its going to have an accident, and I'll claim insurance on it.
Trouble is I'm back at work :-((((.
As for Nepal?????Been there, and my advice would be a Leica and a couple of
Lenses, or OM1, lenses?, 2 maximum of choice, No electro powered bodies.
Anything more is excess baggage, and I certainly can't see any point in
winders for that trip.
regards
David Low
