A week of travel ahead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>As planned, I&#8217;m packing three Pentax film SLRs, a panoramic and compact film camera, and a Canon DSLR. I took eight lenses for those two systems and eight rolls of film. It should be enough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I expected mostly nice and sunny weather, so I took mostly low-ISO films. For really low-light conditions, I&#8217;ll simply use a digital camera. A digital camera (and my phone!) will serve for snapshots, as well, leaving space for a bit more expensive film, this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As already planned, I&#8217;m taking mostly Pentax system with me, this time &#8211; Pentax MZ-S for me, Pentax MZ-5 and SFXn for my SO. Horizon 202 panoramic camera, and Soligor AF compact camera as a backup for me. There&#8217;s a plan to pick up a camera I&#8217;ve lent to a friend, but we&#8217;ll see how the plans will unfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve loaded a roll of slightly expired Agfa Vista+ 400, 24 frames, into panoramic Horizon 202. Faster 400 ASA film should be enough for a faster shutter speed (Horizon has basically only two <em>swing<\/em> speeds). so I can use it hand-held. I took a fresh roll of Kodak ColorPlus 200 as a backup film, for whatever need arises, or as a film for a <em>backup camera<\/em> &#8211; Soligor compact. My two primary films are Silberra Color 50 and Konica VX100 expired some 18 years ago. The plan is to shoot it rated at ISO 40, so I&#8217;ll have ISO 40 and ISO 50 films with me &#8211; shouldn&#8217;t be too challenging, I hope! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My SO isn&#8217;t a cheap-ass like me, she took her Kodak Portra 160, Cinestill 50D and Revolog Streak films with her, and a roll of Kodak E100 already in the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plan was to take 24mm, 28mm, 50mm and 100mm AF lenses for Pentax cameras, and 24-70mm and 50mm lenses for a Canon digital camera. The plan survived, but I&#8217;ve added additional lenses, both for film Pentaxes &#8211; 28\u2013\u200d70mm F4 zoom and 20mm F4 manual focus lens. That&#8217;ll expand wide-angle coverage to a nice and wide 20mm, albeit in a fully manual focus lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, it&#8217;s vacation time, and let&#8217;s see how my ideas will work in practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time to finally pack my bags and go, nice weather, new landscapes and seascapes are waiting for me!
