what camer to use!?!

[ywenz]

I'm thinking of heading down to the southside Chicago to document the Sox's win tonight. You think I should bring my DSLR + external flash or my Leica? I don't know what would be more appropriate for such a crazy/booz filled event...

Maybe something less valuable?

The Leafs don't play until tomorrow night. 🙂

I don't have any thing else less valuable

No Holga? You need a Holga.

Holga Shmolga! If you want a batteryless viewfinder camera look no further than the Oly Trip 35 🙂

Holgas are fun but it really is a camera of one exposure. Mine the flash is out of sync and so it clips the corner (the shutter rotates) of anything taken with flash. I find they're great fun in Sunny/16 when it is sunny/16 with ISO 100, and almost worthless in any other lighting setup.

yal think i can get away with it using f2 summicron and 1600 B&W film? we're talking about bars and outdoors in the streets

take something waterproof.. or rather, beerproof

 

[FrankS]

A Nikonos would be ideal.

I have a Holga... with a flash too. I don't want to waste this once in a life time experience if the Holga shots don't turn out... hmm difficult choice.

 

[FrankS]

I'd take the Leica then, but that's because I don't do digital.

Then take the Digital. A Leica would be a terrible think to get wasted...

Your Digital will depreciate 70% over the next year.

Thanks for all the advice. Ended up taking my Canon 20D.. the high ISO really came in handy!
