Hi,
Thanks for the friendly reactions.
Almost all of the photos were made with old Canon A1’s + 28mm, 50mm and 70-205mm lenses. When a camera began to wear out, it wasn’t difficult to find an undamaged used Canon A1. We carry our camera equipment in a handlebar bag and have never had serious camera/lens problems in spite of the road vibrations while bicycling (knock on wood!). We used to use Kodak Elite Chrome 100 since it always gave good results under varied light conditions. Just recently we have bought a new digital camera; the Nikon D70. We are now busy testing this camera, so we can’t really say how it performs during a bicycle trip. At least in the future we won’t have to carry all of those film rolls!
Happy travels,
Paul & Grace
