My personnal opinion - Iwasted alot \of shots on slide film and had much better results on print film. Photo possibilities are vast and you will need lots of film. Have a good time out there. We are planning a trip for next July. Gene -------------- Original message from bob palmieri <rpalmier@depaul.edu>: -------------- > Folks- > > Going to Hawaii for a couple of weeks.
