I would like to thank all of you for your feedback!!! 🙂
Unforturnately I am still waiting for my package (the infamous brown people don't like me) :bang:
So until I do, I will be researching the Oly XA. I am looking to touch one first, and make my decision then. As for the trip, I don't know which camera to take, or if I can sneek both pass the boss 🙂 . I will take at least some 200 and 800 film, mostly color, as I like to do the B&W in PS.
Once I get the Yashica I will run out and take a roll, then post them. I really appreciate all the information. Where else could you find this type of information. People who have just been where you are going (Jon). People who have travel extensively (gabriele), and all the different approaches to travel photography (Dougs film lesson). I will continue to read and post my experieces, and when I get back I will try to find a couple of decent pics to post.
thanks again all of you!!! 😀
