If you had to stay abroad for months...

I've stayed here for years without too many problems; well apart from the unarmed police force and the free healthcare that is ... oh, and we do have film at £4.00'ish a roll, and £2.00 for c41 developing at a decent lab
 
Getting lots of great feedback. Beats what I've found by googling :)

If I stick to what I know, I'll just bring my M2 and a 35mm. Have a ricoh GR1s as a backup/wide camera. It has been a solid combo for me. Just that the longest I've ever gone without developing is about 4 rolls. Might just tune up the old camera before I head off!

Thanks for the link Soeren!

Also, you can easily mail order more film from guys like www.macodirect.de, just to mention one of the bigger European mail order film stockists.

would you bring just film? Or mix it up with a digital camera?

Currently going through a mini dilemma while preparing for my exchange in Portugal. Have been shooting film exclusively for 6 months and I don't have any digital cameras left. However, I haven't been able to find much information about processing labs or the cost of film in Europe. Have considered picking up a sony nex 5n as a digital backup alongside my M2. But it just bothers me that the nex 5n can basically fund all my film needs during that time.

What would you do if you were me? I probably will be traveling far and wide in western Europe.
