Comment by Sandehalynch posted on film when travelling? at 01/04/2011 - 19:09
sorry, might just be me being thick, but I think I need something simpler, like there are loads of different types of just fuji and kodak film and i can't even tell the difference between fuji reala/professional/superia, of course there is the price difference but what does it do to the image etc??
Main reason for me using film is for when I'm in the hills (climbing, on more or less vertical ground when I'll be bashing myself around with the camera, so I won't have to worry about a hefty repair if I crack a lens/break/drop a camera as I'll probably bring the cheapest things along.) On less worrying ground I'll normally stick with the K5. Or else a film camera will be my backup when I'm travelling.
Sometimes it's down to taste, but if you want the most faithful colour reproduction and negs that will last for fifty years then pay for the best fresh film available. If you want funky colours then out-of-date, cheapo emulsions can be great.

And just wait till you can afford a 15mm.

Basic precautions should be enough to keep the average fit person safe, but the risks are there.

Pentax SMC F 50mm 1.7
Tamron AF SP Di 90mm 2.8
Pentax AFA 1.7 TC
I'd sell the rest and buy any other Pentax primes.

If you didn't want AF then I'd recommend a well-serviced MX or even an LX if you could run to that.
