Fuji Xtra 800 then. I'm not too keen on the tripod idea, since i dont have
those tiny ones, and if i wish to
steady, i can use the railing or whatever w/o lugging another gear item. the
next step up tripod is a very
light samsonite aluminum one, but that's not flexible in terms of deployment.
the big bogen is a no no ;)
I would take some black and white...tri-x will do

good idea, will get B/W+ in one body, Xtra 800 in the other. i would love to
use Tri X but then experience
shows both fuji and kodak will muck up the prints, and still charge me thru the
nose for that. a filmscanner is
being saved for! If i can get 1/30 and f/5.6 on 400 speed film, then that's
good enough lighting for me.

the widest i have is 28/3.5, so i'll take that and the 50 (not sure if 1.4 1.8
or 3.5macro)
