But when I fly, I travel light. I am going to Denmark in early November and will most likely take (!) a film camera as the main tool, my Bronica 645 with a 45mm and a 65mm lens, an outfit comparable in size and weight to a Leica M outfit. I may also bring the Olympus E420 with the 25mm pancake. Besides the airline-imposed imperative to travel light, I sometimes also find it a good exercise and even liberating to be limited in the choice of focal lengths. I go to Copenhagen on a regular basis, and should I miss some shot because I do not have my Oly 50-200mm lens with me, it is no big deal, since I know I will be back there a few months later.
