dilemma

[Pherdinand]

Say, everything goes well and I do receive today the 120-films I ordered AND the light meter I bought from scottgee.
Tomorrow i'm flyin' home for easter and 10y highschool reunion. Will be there for a week.
I'm contemplating, what should i bring? I mean, besides underwear and socks...what camera?
Should I bring my SLR with a 24mm lens + the old Rolleiflex/Tessar? Should I bring the more pocketable but lesser quality Super Ikonta/Novar instead of the 'Flex? Should i skip the SLR and bring both the Ikonta and the 'Flex? SHould I skip the MF oldies and bring along a big-eyed Yashica GSN?

🙁
Maybe I should sell everything and keep only one camera.

for a one week trip, in & out, and a few things planned?
i'd go for small & light or at least the simplest kit.

probably the gsn.

Woohoo! All went good and both the lightmeter from Scott and the 120-films arrived in the very last postman, today. Five rolls of NPH, five rolls of tri-x, five of fp4+. Alas, they ran out of delta3200...
Still undecided, but i want a medium format something to have w me. And a wide lens too. Sheesh.

MF folder and yashica get my vote.

here is the list as I do it. Good luck!

Jan

1 Underwear
2 sox
3 small pocket sized camera to have at all times
4 a MF folder to lug around for quality shots when you know there are shots to be had.
5 a flask of Scotch
6 2 aspirin

OK...i was fool enough to take three cameras, the slr/24mm/135mm, the rolleiflex and the folder(=pocket size camera, i have large pockets). I did not regret it, though. Photos to come later.

And yes i did have space for socks and underwear too. Aspirin...not needed. The scotch turned into Jagermeister, 1 liter bottle, favourite of my girlfriend. She was exalted.

A few 6x6 results. The colour ones are from the 'flex. Once these people ment alot to me, and vice-versa I think. Did not see most of them for several years.
