Hey team.
This is just more of a curious discussion around traveling with a large format kit as opposed to traveling light, especially in South East Asia.
I'm heading off to Myanmar in May and I'm really having a hard time getting my head around taking my 4x5 kit or going light and taking a 645. Either way I know I'll regret the decision at one point (gloriously big negatives, perspective control versus much lighter kit, speed of getting places) so I'm just opening this up for any of you who have travelled around S.E. Asia with a LF kit, or just gone anywhere overseas with one.
How do you come to this decision? At the moment I think it's going to come down to a coin toss, but it would be interesting and informative to hear first hand experiences around the subject.
