Next weekend when I shoot a conference in the Chicago area.

I'm taking the DSLR and shooting everything in raw.
Will probably use 2 lenses: A35/2 and A70-210/4.
Maybe the FA50/1.4 depending on room size.
Flash is a Sunpak 611. Plenty of light,
with a little Westcott thingie on it for softness.
But I'm also going to shoot b&w film. And this forces a choice.
(That's the question.)
I'd like to use just 1 lens on the b&w body.
The body will be either the SP1000 or the KX. With a small flash.
(there should be one laying around here somewhere)
I'm thinking ... just 50mm on the film? Or maybe the 21mm?
DOF is tempting, but so is 50mm sharpness.
And so is carrying less gear. The KX is such a tank!
Lens options are: FA50/1.4, A35/2, 21/3.5 m42.
Sincerely,
Collin Brendemuehl

I recommend you toss a coin, choose a body and lens at random, shoot
with what you took and learn from the experience. That last bit is the
important part, btw.
I used to agonize over "The Right Choice", over analyze and waste brain
budget. Now I tend to select what I feel like at that moment, possibly
combinations I hadn't tried before, even if they don't seem to make
sense. Or I resort to my faves. Whatever will get me out the door.
But analyze during editing and post-processing. Look at what you brought
home and think about the results. Next time you'll know better what to take.
