Camino with 120mm Film Camera!

[orcaman]

Hey guys,

Your'e more than welcome to check out my camino photos from last September. Most of the shots are taken with Pentax 120mm film camera, a rather unusual equipment for the hiking these days.

Check it out here:

6x7 or 6x45?

If it wasn't the hassle of carrying a month of film I'd haul my Fuji 6x9

6x7.

I think the hassle was not carrying the film (it's quite light) as much as having to stop and replace the roll every now and again. You need to walk with patient partners.

I forget does the 6x7 have removable film backs?

I have a 645 but it uses batteries and I'd rather not deal with those to . Plus with airline carry on limits things get tight these days.

The Fuji is simple enough. No batteries. Fixed lens. But I'm not carrying 30 rolls -)

Orcaman, welcome. Your photos are stunning. Is there a way I might use a few of them with a talk I'm giving next week about the CF? Feel free to private conversation me. Your Dad should be very proud of you.

First time i have seen somebody take such a big camera on the camino, I am toying with taking my Nikon D800e although i have a Fujifilm XM1 that i use for hiking. Very nice images
