Waiting to board the plane to Allentown, to see family just across the Delaware in NJ.

I was just sitting here being proud of the fact that I only packed two cameras this trip. A #NikonF100 with the magnificent 28-300, and the #NikonFM3A with the Voightländer 40mm.

And 12 rolls of #IlfordHP5 - that should get me through 3 and a half days, right? 🤣🤔

@kaiser_franz good thing one motor advance and wind, you might get a thumb cramp otherwise. Also, no medium or large format? Probably head home and repack first.

@shom Haha! Tried to save some space and weight…the F100, if it weren’t for the size and weight (especially with the lens that lives on it) would definitely be my favorite 35mm camera. I love that thing. The FM3A was more of a “throw this in the top of the bag in case there’s a a day where you want to carry a much smaller camera” addition

@kaiser_franz I've never used an electronic control film camera (except for whatever crap point and shoot the family had growing up). Film has always been a slow down and be okay with missing focus thing for me (I only shoot rangefinders in in 35mm). But I should really try a "modern" film SLR with autofocus one of these days, the F100 looks awesome.

@shom I love it. You can get bodies for a decent price, which is great if you already have F glass.
