OK so in April I am off to Italy and will be taking some cameras with me. Not sure what yet, but in the interest of traveling relatively light I think probably the M4 and my R-D1 with a 28mm lens to use on both bodies.
So I will take my film as carry-on, but should I ask to have it hand inspected or something? The general consensus seems to be that the film will be fine, but what about IR film, if I pull my finger out and buy the IR filter?
Here's my potential kit list:
Leica M4P body
Epson R-D1 body
Voigtlander 28mm M lens for above bodies
Ilford Panf 50
Ilford HP5+ 400
Kodak Tri-X 400
Kodak HIE IR
Fuji Velvia 50
I'm not sure if I should take another body with the colour film, maybe my Paxette or OM10. But then I don't want to carry 3 or 4 bodies. I think I'll get through the film pretty quickly so maybe I'll take the Epson and the M4 and if I need B+W when I have colour in the Leica I can use the Epson, and vice versa.
I'll probably lose sleep over this. :bonk:
Also, and this is going to sound dense, but an unfortunate drawback of the digital is that I'll need to rely on my 3 batteries - any specific adapter needed for my charger?
Cheers
