I know it would be perfect for the mountain foliage this time of year. I'll try Plan B this weekend, which means using a Rolleiflex with Portra 160VC, which I have in 120. I have a handlebar back on my MTB that can house a Rolleiflex or an M6 with a couple of lenses. With Plan B I'll miss not having the 28/2.8 M which is the ultimate lens for landscapes. The Creeper trail is pretty tame. You can even take a shuttle from the base to the top and it's all downhill. I prefer to ride up and down. It's an old railroad bed so the grade isn't bad. All in all it's a relaxing, fun ride. http://www.vacreepertrail.org/ and http://www.vacreepertrail.us/ I considered Plan C digital but I like film. I'm lazy. I can just drop film off at Walmart on the way to work and pick up prints and a CD on the way home. I like having prints and scans that are ready to go, and having negs. The Walmart lab does fantastic work. It's staffed by students from a state school for the hearing impaired and they are very much on top of things. A lot of people must still be shooting film because they're always very busy. Hopefully I'll find some Ektar soon. I'm anxious to try it.

It sounds like a great film. I don't know where you'd find it though. Freestyle and B&H don't have it.
