I am presently getting my gear ready for a three week trip to Honduras with my father. We return on the 27th, there is no way my mailbox could handle the traffic on this list :-)
I cannot recall the last time I took three weeks off from work. It will be greatly appreciated.
My plans are to take 50/100/400 color slide film (Fuji and Kodak mix) along with 100/400 b&w print film (TMax and Tri-X). The question is how much to take, or how much I can actually take with me.
I am only doing a mainland trip. The trip to the Bay Islands was two years ago. There will a trip to the Mayan ruins of Copan - probably a two-day trip. I will also visit the Spanish fort called El Castillo de Omoha. From there it will visiting family and friends and trying to explore more of the country that I am not familiar with. I am hoping to spend time in the countryside and explore.
Currently the plan is to take three LXen ;-) I will probably also take the Optio S. I will not take a computer. Whatever fills the cards I have is all I will take with me. Depending on the whatever space I have left in the bag I may try to slip in the *ist D. You have to enjoy the compactness of Pentax cameras!
My father thinks I am crazy to take so much gear with me - he should meet this list :-)
As for lenses, I am thinking of taking the M 20/4, FA* 24/2, FA 31/1.8 Limited, K50/1.2, FA 77/1.8 Limited, and the FA* 200/2.8 - the 200/4 would take up less space, but I have gotten used to using the FA*. I think I can afford the extra weight.
A Bogen monopod will also make the trip - lets see how much use that gets...
No real reason for the post. I thought some may be interested...
Still seeing about a trip to London before GFMtn. Time will tell.
C�sar Panama City, Florida
P.S. Still waiting for a trip north in April. Got to spend time with Norm while in Texas - awesome!
