Dear all,
The posts on this and other boards soon convinced me of the huge advantages of f uji quickloads and I'd talked myself into the idea of using nothing else for a f ive-week trip to the Levant in september. Until that is I got to the shop and sa w how big a 20 sheet box actually is. Given that I'll be backpacking and was pla nning on taking ~250 sheets, I fear I have no option but to take a dozen filmhol ders and 5x50 boxes of normal Provia plus my Harrison Pup changing tent(and seve ral cleaning brushes...) Can't help thinking that 12 boxes of QL would take up more space than me (and I' m not slim)! Shame really since with all that dust out there, the QL's would hav e been neat. I'm assuming it won't be readily available in Damascus or Amman so restocking out there isn't an option. Which brings me to the big question for all the avid quickloaders out there - wh en travelling abroad, without a car, just how much film do you actually manage t o fit into your bags? Did toy with the idea of sending a few boxes to myself and picking it up poste-r estaunte in Beirut but given the quality of postal services out there it seems t oo risky.
