ok, i'll be heading to a place i was born in, but not lived, this dec-jan
for about 3 wks. last time i went was 17 yrs ago :) anyway, the OM
complement shall include two OM1n bodies (i've decided against swapping
one OM1n for a an Oly RF, and i can't outlay the dough to get another
camera), the 28/3.5, 50/3.5macro, 50/1.8MC & 50/1.4mc, 200/4 zuikos and
oly 2xa TC, T32 w/ lumiquest softbox, bogen 3221/3030, and roughly 45
rolls of fujicolor NPH. when i was in london this summer, i figured on a
burn rate of a roll a day.. i ended up going 2 rolls a day if i budgeted
film! so for HYD (airport code <g>), i'll be planning on 2 rolls a day for
20 days. hmm maybe i should get more film (ouch that's gonna cost!) from
B&H. all of it will brought back for develop+scan (which, incidentally,
costs more than the film itself!). anyone here from HYD?
comments? suggestions? advice? will the 28 suffice? any need for the 200
+ tc or leave it? ditto for the macro. the less gear i have, the less
worries about the weather there mucking it up, or getting lost and such.
hints? tips? tricks?
hpoefully i'll find some sort of wifi access, and try to put up something
like a daily commentary with digicam snaps (mainly for orhter family
members here).
i'm wondering if i should try to convert the centre column of the tripod
into a monopod (get a long round piece of wood from hardware store), and
skip the bogen legset all together, since i didnt use it in london at all
(too much pedestrian traffic--its worse in HYD).
