The problem is that my work is mostly done in remote parts of the Himalaya.
It's a hassle to get even 35mm equipt to such places, let alone medium
format. And I have to carry a recording rig as well, since I'm documenting
the music of the communities I visit. I hope to be in Sikkim this coming
Autumn, lots of thangkas to be photographed.

I'll have to look into this. Is it virtually grainless, like K25?

Most frustrating. This pdf is Japanese only.
