For MF though, it could be anything from an old folder like my Mamiya Six (not the modern version 6, but the original Six) to a Hasselblad. If I'm going LF, it's my Super Speed Graphic or maybe my Toyo. Yes, large format can range from big to huge, but like I said, not usually a consideration. There's size variation in all formats, but I'd say that within the rage of possible combinations medium format probably has the widest range of options. Even so, small format gear isn't the best choice for many things I shoot so I generally have a medium format camera along as well. It's rare that I wouldn't include a small format set up of some sort.
is important.Īs for format, anything is fair game, but large format is less often the 1st choice when size is an issue. Most trips, though, have some level of size constraints, and so finding the right balance of format, choices, versatility etc. Driving allows the most freedom of course, and I find that on road trips I will usually overpack terribly, but then who cares as long as you can squeeze in a few items of clothing oh, and of course my travel companions and their gear. The purpose often dictates format, a specific lens or set of lenses, and the camera choice as well. There is certainly variation based on the destination and / or the purpose of the trip, so kit "optimization" has variables that have to be considered each time you get ready to pack. As a photographer who travels quite a lot, I spend a lot of time trying to sort out the perfect travel kit.
