[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm looking for some recommendations on photo gear. I'll be leaving next = week to spend a few days travelling through Morocco and plan on visiting = places not so frequented by tourists. I've been warned of beggars, cons = and thieves. I usually travel with a Mamiya 6MF and 75 as well as an M = camera with 4 lenses (I like rangefinders).=20 Since I'd like to travel as light as possible and yet maintain the best = quality, should I go for the medium format (only a "normal" lens) or = settle on the smaller negative with the versatility of 4 = lenses(21,35,50,90). The best shots will probably be blown up to 8x10 = and film is both chrome and b/w for both formats. My Leica images blown = to 8x10 rarely look as good as the medium format ones blown to the same = size (all else being equal). Any ideas? Thanks and regards to all, Jorge Fernandez US Embassy, Madrid
