Truth is beauty
What would you say about traveling through more than a month and several countries, just with an ultrawide and the slowest slide film?

I once lived with a M4 and a 90f2.8 for 6 month as my only camera/lens. Taught me how to walk backwards a lot!
Every month I start out with the idea of 1 lens/1 camera but it usually takes about 3-4 days for that idea to die. I should really lock the camera cabinets and hide the keys and start it for one month. Now, which camera, which lens? Too many choices - though a M2 and a 40f1.4 would be a good candidate! Hmm, 50 rolls of XX and that kit - no meter, no shoulder bag, just big pockets with film and some change for coffee breaks.
Oh, wait, the Nokton 50 f1.1 maybe - well you see what I mean about choices!
Tom, sorry I didn't see your post four weeks ago... I'll scan some shots of course. Color, I'm afraid... If I remember well, I just used slide film for that trip. Only 20mm and slide was interesting... I'll post again, with some of those...
Cheers,
Juan
Wow, just a 90 & RF looks tough!
Well, here's what I got five years ago... I never missed any other lens... I uploaded 21 shots from the trip here:
