Hi Siddiq:
>Hope your holidays went well. See my comment in the Tope about the box on
>the man's left arm.
I believe it is in Tope 7, the man being helped by the Rabbi to put on
Tephillin.
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 ;)
The 800 will be fine...don't lug extra gear. You will like the OM better
than the Leica for this work. Don't carry too much...it is pointless and you
will tire yourself out.
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.
If you need to have the film developed outside, get the 400CN or a
comperable chromogenic film. If you can do it yourself, use TX or TMY.
The 28 and 50 1.4 or whatever you have will be fine. You will probably not
need the macro 50. Carry a 2 diopter close up filter...it is smaller and
easier than another lens.
Honestly, the OM will get you better images than the Leica...it will be
easier to use to get good perspective on the cars because you see what the
lens sees.
Best wishes, Let us know how it goes.
