Actually, in regards to this, owing to the huge travel involved and excess
baggage etc.  If I do make it to GFM, I think I'll only be bringing with me:

MZ-6 (ZX-L) (which I hardly EVER use and would benefit from spending the
weekend "playing" with it)
*istD (I WILL have one by then! lol)
FA50mm f1.7
Tamron Manual Focus 135mm f2.5
FA 28-105mm f4-5.6 pz
Tamron Asph. 28-200mm f3.8-5.6 (maybe or maybe not - haven't played with it
since it was repaired from its car accident, so thought it would be fun to
bring along)
A70-210mm f4 (so that Stan can reminisce - it used to be his!)
DA 16-45mm f4 (if I have been able to get one before then!)

Sadly, I think that they Oly will stay at home (unless anyone requests a
look) as he isn't light...  Likewise with my PZ-20s...

Will anyone have a spare tripod?  I think that mine will add much too much
weight to my luggage, it DOES fit into my suitcase (I take it away to
Brisbane etc with me) and so I may have to dispense with some clothes *eek*
if no-one has a spare! lol...  Or maybe, I could just be like Stan and not
shower for a few days and wear the same clothes! lol...

Film - I doubt that I will actually shoot much at all - maybe just a couple
of rolls of Reala or NPH400, but I think it will be primarily a digital
affair.  I probably won't be entering the competition, I have never really
shot slide film before and could end up with some very embarrassing results!
;-)

FYI - I *have* already pre-registered, my diary is free, and my
accommodations are sorted, it is just the money thing holding me back now -
the mum side of me just feels really guilty about spending what will be
around AUD$5k for "selfish" reasons, when it would almost complete much of
our house renovations and in particular, my children's play area and front
verandah...

tan. *who is HOPING to make it, but on the money side of things, isn't
holding her breath JUST yet*
