I'm planning to going to Peru for a couple of weeks in December, most likely from the 8-23. Lima and the Cusco region being the main points. Will be going with my girlfriend who is from Lima.
The camera I tend to carry around is my Zeiss Ikon (the contemporary one), the ZM 50F2 and the ZM 35F2, so will likely take that. These days I tend to be shooting TMAX 400 @ 800 to give me a little bit of flexibility in low light, but can still use a ND filter by day if need be. Though, I'm probably also going to take my Metz 44 MZ-2 flash (which so far I'm rather liking.) I sometimes also take my J-3 50mm F1.5 and my CV 75mm 2.5 lenses, but don't use those nearly as much, so might leave those behind. If I'm just taking the one camera above, I tend to use my Bare Bones Bag, which I rather like. Yes, the big pockets inside are sometimes disorganized, but I really like how that bag fits my body, and is very water resistant too!
I also have a Bessa R3A which I sometimes take with me on trips, and often have the 40mm (SC) F1.4 lens on it. If I have it, I typically put color film in it. Though, since I wear glasses, much, much prefer to shoot the ZI these days than the Bessa. When I do take both camera, I have a Naneu Pro Lima bag. 😉 That's a pretty nice bag, and I'll probably take that, but I do sometimes wonder if I'd like the BBB2 bag better since I'm really liking my BBB bag. Oh well, I digress.....
I don't have any super wides, but then I've never really been at home with serious wides. I seem to gravitate towards the 50s more often than not. And after hearing/seeing Helen Hill's use of her 75, beginning to wonder about making more use of that lens. Not sure on this trip, though. Still plenty of time to figure that out.
Planning on 1-stop flights to and fro, and then the short flight from Lima to Cusco. I've read the threads about putting your film in clear plastic bags, so will be doing that. Not sure how many rolls, though.
Anyway, any advice/tips/suggestions? Do I just use the Naneu Pro Lima bag as my carry-on bag? Should I consider something a bit bigger for carry-on, that also has enough space for camera gear? I also happen to have a Courierware medium-sized bag for carrying laptops (can fit my laptop and my BBB inside of it), but thinking that might be a bit too big for carry-on.
