bozu_shutterbugger Posted June 25, 2017 Share #1 Posted June 25, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Very subjective topic, I travel a lot and I understand that unless you are stupid most places are safe. One can be a danger to their own gear. Now that put out of the way, can I carry one of these to my Guatemala trip? Has anyone been there with any camera equipment? Would love to hear from you all. My trip is coming up soon. Appreciate your 2 cents. Black on is not a MP. It's gaffers tape Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tensor Posted June 28, 2017 Share #2 Posted June 28, 2017 I travel for years totally unguided though every Asian country I am interested in. I use a Leica - only equipment when I travel: M240, M7, 35, 20, 75 and all is covered by a photographer insurance. The M7 is my fallback solution, if the M240 gets broken. I never ever had any problems wearing a red dot camera. In my opinion, using gaffer tape to hide the brand results in more curiosity than you want. My two cents advice: Being friendly as much as possible to all the people around you, doing martial arts and having a good insurance company will reduce your personal and equipment risk nearly to zero. Otherwise the alternative would be: Don't use a Leica if you travel Viele Grüße / Kind Regards / 모두 제일 좋다 Harald 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmars Posted June 28, 2017 Share #3 Posted June 28, 2017 A colleague was in Guatemala this spring. He reported, that the Guatemalans were sorry with him when they heard he was fron Germany, because Germany is known there as unsafe country. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozu_shutterbugger Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted July 9, 2017 You know it's so true. Why bother buying a Leica if you can't use it. I took it to Guatemala and surprisingly it was so safe out there. I had only take my 35 Summicron and 21cv which I returned. I actually met few people with Canon 5d who knew nothing about Leica. Kept on calling it 'them mirrorless camera' people really thought I was carrying a crap camera Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
