We'll be there a month and if anybody has any suggestions for "don't miss", I'd appreciate it. So far we're thinking of flying into Lima, renting a car and driving to Cuzco - staying there two weeks for Machu Pichu and Lake Titicaca and Sacred Valley, driving back to Lima and maybe flying to Iquitos for an Amazon trip. Our plane tickets are all free with frequent flier points. This trip I've decided to take only Leicas - my two M8's and one M7. I'm going to take B&W film and try to think in B&W again. I'm also taking my Noctilux which I love but have never been able to use with my M8's, so I'm looking forward to using that. I am worried about the high contrast that I'll run into in the Andes. When I was in Bolivia, the shadows were so black, I'm still trying to work with those photos. Slobodan, you suggested Neopan for blocked shadows. What developer do you use? Dilutions, temperatures and times? I use a Jobo so any suggestions you have for developing for film that will be scanned would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Tina Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com
