    It's been years since I shot a roll, it's all been digital since 2005.
    I'm not going to process the film, it'll be done a lab either intown or...

    C41 or E6? 120 film for my travels.

    That is the question.

    I'm travelling in S America in the new year and can carry some film and have others sent onto me.
    But which one is going to give me the better results with some latitude?

    Re: Travelling for a year; so which LF camera?

    Looks like LF is getting the thumbs down.

    Meaning the M7ii is heading up the top of the list thus far as it's lenses sound beyond reproach and it's a compact system if I take a 50 and a 150mm...

    Re: Travelling for a year; so which LF camera?

    Is "disease" accurate?

    Besides, it's not a good idea to go back somewhere, always forge onwards so things are fresh and exciting. Going back is always a let down as places and people move onwards...

    Re: Travelling for a year; so which LF camera?

    I seem to have set the right tone as it's become a lively debate!

    Re: Travelling for a year; so which LF camera?

    Some good & valid comments there.
    Humping the kit is not such an issue, but as you say, the film holders might be an obstacle making a Blad set up more realistic.

    Hello.

    I'm planning a back packing trip in S America for 6-12 months and want to take my time and a larger format than 35mm.
