Last year for the first tiem I drove the family for a week long trip to
florida and the Keys. This year I am heading back - stright to the
Keys. The old buildings in Key west are wonderful, as is the landscape in
and around all the Keys.
Last year I kicked myself for not taking a 4x5 along. I am not making
that mistake this year. :) However, I want to take a good supply of film
- that's easy, but then what about film holders? Dragging along a huge box
of pre-loaded film holders just isn't going to work.
So what do other people prefer - ready loads or a film changing tent? I
already own a Polariod 545 back, but how compatable are the Kodak Ready
loads (I shoot only B&W) with the Polaroid holder?
The extra cost ofthe Ready loads is not a factor for me as much as you
cannot get Tri-X in readyloads (bummer), and i also see that film tents are
not cheap, so cost wise, the extra money for readyloads is about the same
as a film tent it seems.
Any thoughts?
