Been trying to figure what I would take on a short 7 week trip to South East Asia. I would be working on the "Forgotten Laughter" children living in poverty series. If I went for only 7 weeks I would want to travel much lighter, but a longer trip especially of 6 months I would take more gear with me.
7 week trip cameras:
- 5x7 Linhof with 120mm lens, spot meter
- Leica M6 with 35mm F1.4
- Leica M6 with 21mm F2.8
- Plaubel Makina 80mm F2.8 (my newest buy)
If I traveled for a longer period, 3 to 6 months I would be working on a wider variety of projects and might also take these tools.
3 to 6 month trip, possible added cameras;
- Canon Mark II digital with 24mm 1.4 lens
- Hasselblad 503 with ringflash and 80mm F2.8 lens
- Leica R6 with 60mm lens
- Leica 28mm F2 lens
- Fuji 65mm 6x9 camera
- 210mm F5.6 lens for the Linhof 5x7
