When ballooning, I think I tried just about every lens from 16mm fisheye right up to 400mm telephoto over the 50 or so flights I have been on. I found the 80-200 to be the most useful lens I own. I found fast print films to be more useful than slide film, but then again, you might find otherwise. I don't know if the polarizer will be useful or not. I never found it to be all that usefull when ballooning.

I think that it will be a fairly short flight - maybe only 15 or 20 minutes - and my primary goal is to absolutely enjoy it. Having said that, I think that it might be too good of a chance not to take some shots. I'll probably take the MZ-3 but am not sure of lens or film choices. I only want to take 1 lens and can choose from the 20-35, 28-70/4, 43mm or 80-200. Could also get my hands on a 100mm. Perhaps the 20-35 is too wide and the 80-200 is physically too long. Any opinions out there? > > Also - film choices. I generally shoot Velvia or Provia, but would also consider print film for this. Along with film choice - any opinions on filters? I thought that I might take the polarizer but I'm concerned that I might be enjoying the experience too much to actually bother. > > May the weather gods smile on this corner of western Europe (and not blow a gale again..)
