• Need some advice guys... I'm heading to South America for 6 months... what film and what camera should I take?

    Options: Yashica t3, Gr1 v, Gr 1, Hexar AF, Leica Minilux, Big Mini, Contax T2.

    I'm thinking the Hexar and a GR1 as backup (one is pretty crappy, ones ok). Film, Kodak Professional Ektar 100 - 135-36 - Colour Negative Print Film makes sense?

  • I think it's a rather personal matter which of those to take with you;
    what sort of pictures are you after, how do you shoot / which camera do you like using most, are you going to places where it might not be agood idea to carry expensive gear, etc.

    Same goes for film, basically - what do you like?

    That being said - if it was me I'd chose GR, Minilux and Contax to have at least slightly different focal lengths, and bring various films, both slide and non-slide, and some higher iso negative film as well definately for the evenings....
