With my time in Africa coming to a close I'm starting to plan my next adventure. As it stands right now I'm looking to go to the Pacific Rim for 2-4 weeks (Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia area). It looks like I'm going to spend much of my time on the move. I am taking a DSLR and lenses (odds are a fisheye, 50mm and 70-300mm), and one of my Film cameras. I have a Hasselblad 500ELX with a F2.8 80mm lens and a Graflex Speed Graphic with a F4.7 127mm lens. I also have two 12 shot magazine and 5 film holders for it. So assuming I take the Speed Graphic I have a few (loaded) questions.
1: If you were to pick 2 kinds of film to take (one color, and one B&W) what would you pick and why? I'm thinking about something with a ISO of 400 to help with lower light shots. I'm going to be shooting what ever catches my eye. Be it landscapes, street, wildlife, whatever I feel like.
2: Should I develop my own film there? Ship film back to the US to get developed? Or?
3: What is a realistic amount of film to take?
4: What would you recommend for a camera bag/backpack? Being somewhat portable is key.
5: Any other things to think about?
Thanks for any input you're willing to share.
