    Which camera to take on vacation???

    Fortunately I never touched American soil on my way to Mexico. Hence a peaceful, hassle free journey. On the subject of xrays I have traveled all over the world with film and have NEVER had a problem with film being damaged. On one trip my film got xrayed at least 19 times. When I do enter...

    Haha, no the the dislocated thumb might have caused him some issues for a week or so. That and the cops that grabbed him. One thing you don't do as a local in Cuba is rob the tourists. Really bad for your health. So far haven't taken one film photo. Probably second last day I'll pull out...

    Thanks for all the helpful suggestions! My decision is made, well as of this minute lol. Once I get back I will share some images and see if you can guess what camera and lenses I used. Should be fun.
