Hi, I don't know how you can deal with so many different types of film. When I'm on a trip I take one type of film only, usually Kodachrome, in 2 speeds. Keeping it simple hugely reduces the scope for confusion and thinking I have the wrong film.
Similar things apply to the 'what if...' syndrome. You can get over this by thinking ahead of time of the type of things you plan to photograph. I go to places because there are specific subjects there that I want to see, experience and photograph. This makes it easier to plan and anticipate my needs, although I won't claim always to get it right. My major fault in this respect is taking too many lenses, 'just in case', but I am overcoming this and was encouraged in it by noting that when I was in India a few months ago I shot predominantly with 35 and 85mm lenses. --- Bob Friday, November 8, 2002, 3:00:21 PM, you wrote: > I'm going on vacation in a few weeks.
