argh, i've reached that point where i have to decide what to take. color
and b/w. no idea what i'll be shooting (sorry lex, haven't contacted that
chap yet, been lazy) which doesn't really help. i'll be in NY
(Yonkers) for one day, and hope to get out and shoot some there. it boils
down thusly:

tri-x or CN film? both cost about same to buy, but tri-x takes 2 wks and
costs 3 times as much as CN to process (forget the darkroom, none around
here). i don't care much for the prints 4x6 since target is a few really
nice 11x14s and scans for web eventually. infact, forget 11x14, i'll just
make my own 8.5x11s at home digitally and use the negs at some point in
the far future for real b/w prints done myself, MY way.

Superia 400 and SensiaII100 will also come along; latter for halfway
serious shots, former for point/click madness :) stay w/ Sup400 or get
100? might throw in a couple rolls of delta3200 for fun. geez, this is
getting $$$ (meningitis shots cost US$75, ouch!)

anything else i should take along? both OM1ns are going, as are
28/50/200/tc lenses, PL filter, tripod, monopod and the exa and its 50 and
135 lenses for good measure. All will be carried ON PERSON during
flights.

and one other thing: i can get superia for 2.25 roll of 24exp. sensia not
sure, around dbl. trix or CN are ~5.50 haven't checked, which will be the
mainstay. color will be not important, i want b/w for the most part. so,
anyone out there get them for less in bulk? i can buy it off you, and
shipping is USPS priority quick and cheap. i did the same for a gentlman
who wanted Sup400 in bulk. volunteers? i have absolutely no idea how much
i'll shoot, but guess mebbe 15b/w, 5slide. 

help! LAX-JFK 28jul, JFK-JED 1aug.
