I am taking 1200 exposures color neg and 900 exposures color slide film. My primary photographic tool will be Rollei 3.5 F 120/220 backed up with Leica M3 w/25, 28, 100, 135mm Canon lenses. Equipment weight is about 5.5 pounds. Most of the film has been shipped to our 2nd nights B&B in Annapolis Royal. BTW- Thanks Ted and Tina for your helpful suggestions. Yes, I do have digital cameras available, Olympus D-40, Olympus C-2100UZ, Olympus E-10. Just not comfortable with the routine using/saving/post-production work at the moment. For me, film is much more secure.

No trouble at any check-in or security gate, not one single image lost and i never, ever, worried that my batteries were low. so much for progress. c trentelman In a message dated 7/22/04 4:09:19 AM, lug-request@leica-users.org writes: > Shooting digital, means you've got to carry a > >>>> computer as well, and that bag weighs around 17 lbs.
