I took Kodak E100S on a week-long trip last month, and it held up fine (as far as I can tell) in 65 to 70 degree temperatures. If you're carrying everything in a small bag, position it on whichever shoulder is out of the direct sunlight, to keep things a little cooler. If you're using a backpack, consider carrying a separate, smaller bag over the shoulder just for your film, so you can eaisly position it out of direct sunlight -- or bury it deep in your pack (clothing works pretty well as an insulator). > Also, can anyone recommend a Fuji chrome film faster than Velvia, I hear that E100VS is pretty much a faster Velvia, though it's Kodak not Fuji. I've never tried it. Consider E100S too. Try a roll before you take your trips. Also, during the entire trip, I was careful about carrying my camera bag on whichever side of my body was out of direct sunlight, just to keep the film a little cooler. - --Andrew no archive
