A friend of mine works in the tourist travel business here in Switzerland and wants me to take photos from her Swiss alp tours like Mt. Pilatus, Mt. Rigi, Jungfrau, Mt. Titlis for her brochures. I'm asked to make mostly photos of the panorama and the cable car and other railways and will have to take the shots **around midday** or hopefully in the later evening.
I'm planning on taking most of the photos with the Pentax SFXn on color negative film, since I (own and) know this camera well and take a small additional manual camera like the ME Super or P30 body with me. I think I will carry the Pentax A 24mm wide lens (the widest I have), the 50mm A 2.8 macro (or 50mm 1:1.2) and a tele or longer zoom like the A 70-210mm and the A2x teleconverter with me and the AF280T flash and monopod or a small tripod. Skylight and 1 circular polfilter and spare batteries too. Any recommendations from your side regarding lenses, film material etc. I don't want to carry too much weight with me if possible. I have additional tele primes like the Tamron 90mm macro, Pentax M 135mm and 200mm or zooms M 75-150, A 70-210 and a Sigma 70-30 and wide lenses in 28mm and 35mm size and a small Pentax A35-70mm and F35-135mm zoom. What diameter polfilter would I need for the A24mm (52mm filter size) to avoid dark edges or should I only use a UV or skylight filter on top of the mountains? Hopefully I can limit myself to two filter sizes like 52mm and 58mm. I do not have (a lot of) experience with landscape photography. If every thing fails the first time, I could repeat the travels, so I could risk some experiments. thanks for any recommendations Markus
