Travel Camera
« on: June 21, 2009, 03:57:43 AM »
I'm off to Portugal tomorrow for a month of music work.  This may be my last upload for a while--I doubt that I will have access to a film scanner--but I will continue to enjoy all your excellent work and I will be wasting film with reckless abandon.  I haven't yet decided  which camera to bring.  With my trombone and other music equipment, there isn't much room in my luggage for photo equipment.  A 35mm and two or three lenses gives me the most options but I prefer medium format.  I'm thinking of bringing an old Ikonta square-format rangefinder.  Any advice?

Here are images produced by both options.  The first is taken with a 35mm lens on a Leica with Tri-X at a street band festival in Cambridge, MA last fall.  The second was made with the aforementioned Ikonta in Paris.

If I had limited room in my luggage, I think I'd go for the Ikonta (any room for the Hawkeye?). Portugal is on my list of places to go to someday...hope you have a great time there! :D

Have yourself a fine time & drop in here to tell us how you're getting on. No need to have images on hand in order to start a thread  ;)

I've been to Portugal a few times and have always really enjoyed it, so I'm sure you will too.
