I'll be going to Hawaii for the first time in less than 3 weeks. I had originally planned on taking a medium format camera that I could conveniently pack in a backpack (the primary purpose of this trip is not photography), but decided that, since I have no idea when I'll return, I'll just haul my 4x5 gear instead.
I'm thinking of using Readyloads for the trip, simply because I don't know about the cleanliness of "lightproofness" of the places I'll be staying at. I've been told that the bathrooms in my hotels don't have windows, but I'm still hesitant to count on the things being lighttight sight unseen, and there's still the dust issue.
My question is whether I'll have any difficulty using Readyloads at this time of year in Hawaii due to wind. I tried to use them in northern Arizona in some very strong winds once, and the paper envelopes just whipped around. Even if I held them in my fingers, the unsupported part would still vibrate! Obviously this wouldn't be a problem with traditional holders.
So....how's the wind in the more open places of Hawaii (Big Island) in October?
Thanks.
