The humidity and heat should be about the same. I keep my unexposed film, which i need for the day, in an insulated pouch (like OR's thermal zip cylinder which houses a plastic drink container). Exposed film goes into a ziplock bag and into the fridge, squeeze excess air out of ziploc). Some people may recommend an ice cooler container with ice but if weight is a factor, then stick with the insulated pouch. Mine holds 15 rolls ex- the cardboard box. Got back processed film (iso 25-3200) without any problems. cheers, bee lian On Tue, 29 Jun 1999 15:56:07 -0700 (PDT), Mark Cohen <markc@creativephoto.com> wrote: Ok, so now that you all think me for the fool that I am (re: that little math issue) Im planning a trip to Costa Rica in July.. Ive never been that far south before.. so, I was wondering I should expect when I get there. Should I be concerned about high humidity and bring dessicant? For any of you that have been there, what is good to shoot down there? Im bringing 2xM6 and a 35 Summicron 35 ASPH and a 90 Summicron F2.8 (Both new) - - -Mark
