In my last 4 days trip I shot 5 rolls of slides. I was
carrying the MZ-5n with 28-70/4, A24/2.8, A50/1.4 and
1,7x AF converter.(not considering 2 point and shot
print rolls).
I endend up by questioning myself if I was traveling
and taking some pictures or if I was traveling in
order to take some pictures.
If I traveled alone, I think my answer would be closer
to the second one, but when there is someone with you,
that only consider photos as 'recording the
vacation'... a body with an acceptable zoom seems the
maximum equipment 'acceptable'.
In my case, I feel 'guilty' if I see someone waiting
for me because I am switching lenses, or I am metering
at 3 different points, or...
I also have the 'problem' that I see everything as a
potential picture, and this is somehow 'stressing'.
Maybe there is someone with similar feelings? Possible
therapys?
