I think a Swiss Army Knife needs to be in there too..vital travelling photograher's tool...nothing like being able to open a bottle of beer or wine, cut up your own fruit and cut some sausage and butter your own bread bought from the local market when traveller's foot sets in early afternoon. And get the little screwdriver to keep in the corkscrew too...never know when your camera or specs might need it.

 

Oh, and to allow that, take a bit less kit. Except when I was working, my Leica travel kit was almost always an M2 or 4 with a 35 2 or 1.4 and a small hand meter for less obvious situations. At the mo it's an OM2 with a 35 f2...even lighter, because I don't need the meter.

Oh god! Don't start about flashy camera bags !!
Very sorry. Won't mention it again.

 

OP: Forgot to mention this in my earlier post but I don't think it's a good idea to stash your film in checked luggage. Much safer to bring it into the cabin with you.

That's for sure! The x-ray machines in checked baggage are much more severe that those used for hand carry. Take your film with you on board.

It all sounds too complicated to me I think I'll just go to Bridlington instead. After all if it is good enough for a former Bradford Lad, David Hockney then it's good enough for me
