This is classical rangefinder land... I'd take along a robust mechanical compact scale focus camera--- such as the Rollei 35--- and a rangefinder. For rangefinder I'd take either a Leica M3, Robot Royal or if I could only take one camera then a Voigtländer Vitessa--- I have one with an Ultron and its one of the sharpest resolving objectives ever made .
A Robot Star 25 is also a good choice. Its scale focus but small and incredibly robust--- about as robust a camera as you will ever get your hands on. They are hefty little buggers but very fast shooting--- they have a wind-up clockwork motor advance. They use 24x24 format so a 36 exp roll gets 55 pics. Since take-up goes into a special cassette film change can be very fast and one can even change film in the middle of a roll! Image quality is tops---- what else can one expect from cameras that more or less dominated espionage in both East and West.
