Unfortunately it looks like I will be hitting the beginning of the monsoon season, where I am headed. I will be on the road for the entire time and will be staying in hotels. I'm taking two M cameras, 3 lenses and a mountain of film. Feli On Mar 30, 2005, at 3:31 PM, Karen Nakamura wrote: > > As in Japan monsoon season humid? In Japan, we all have camera storage > vaults.
