I took a Mamiya 7, M7, XPan, F100 and a Ricoh GRDII.

I had something like 80 rolls of film when I got home... still trying to scan them all!

Here are a few that I liked. Larger sizes and more photos can be seen in my Flickr set.

Nice photos! So, did you use all the cameras you had with you, or did you find that some you could do without? Seems like a lot to carry around.
 
Sweet! You've got some real winners there.
I like that you took the time from the obligatory, and very nice, tourist shots to capture the humor in the diptych.

80 rolls....that'll teach you.

Yes, I did use all of them. I found that I used the Mamiya most of the time, and with the 43mm most of the time. The XPan and M7 were probably used equally as much. I think I probably don't need to use an XPan if I bring the Mamiya, because the 6x7 gives me just as much coverage as the XPan and more options for cropping. However, if I decide to use only 135 then it would definitely be XPan and M7. The F100 was more for my girlfriend to use.

Thanks Steve. I don't know what I was thinking... I took way too much film there, and I didn't even use up all of it. I was only there for 3 weeks!

We passed by this kitten several times and would try to pet her. I would get her to roll over and expose her belly, but as soon as I go to scratch her tummy she tries to scratch me! I got a nice gash on my thumb from that.

Thanks for sharing, these are great and are really stoking my inner travel flame, so to speak. That shot from the Acropolis is just stunning--was that with the Mamiya 7?

Thanks, yup that one was with the Mamiya. It makes a great travel cam. Next time I'm only bringing that and my M7 (Double M7? lol)

You should go sooner rather than later! 😛
 
You have quite a series of shots on Flickr. I commented on quite a few. Love your medium format the most I think. Keep up the shooting, Taylor!
