Funny: never knew the Hexar RF also had a 'notch' on the frame window, with the AF it's triangular, with the RF it's round.

Oh, that's kinda-sorta our secret handshake.

fajars: Some nice work here.

Great stuff. Wow. Favorite is the Ultraman mask one. Looks like Ultra7, Ultra 80, and Taro. (Hangs head in shame over extreme geekdom of knowing this stuff...)

Very interesting
Thanks.

One more question. Do to the security issues around the word (X-Ray
machines in Air ports/Train station and so on); I wonder how you avoided
damaging to your undeveloped film.

No problem at all actually most of the modern airports now have 'film safe' x-ray machines which would only be a problem if you have fast film, all of my slides max out at iso100 and some iso50 (the Velvia).

If I have any doubts, I request personal hand check but that's really rare and I never have a problem with airports at all with cameras (digital or analog) and films.

so many good photos its hard to pick favorite. am planning (or dreaming) such a trip, not getting paid for it though.. how many stops were there and how long trip lasted ?

In the old days I will travel for months n sometimes more than 6 months being on the road but then I've already got used to it (I was single back then).
One destination sometimes lasted for weeks, it really depends on the size, subjects etc.

If you really want to do it, start planning, it's not hard as you thought it would be and traveling has become cheaper and faster now (except for the airports but let's not go there).
