Good plan Bill.  D'ye hear there fellow Brit OM fanatics?

I am off to Portugal and Spain at the end of this week.  My Mother  
lives near Faro with her husband (I find the concept of step-father  
difficult ;-)) and we will visit Seville and Cordoba for several days  
each.  I have vacillated internally (my wife wants only that I do not  
weigh us down with camera bags and will not enter a discussion about  
which cameras or lenses) about film or digital.  I have come to a  
compromise which I hope will satisfy the "gear-head" in me but which  
will provide me with the opportunity to take good candid, mono shots.

My kit will comprise my E-1 and 2 lenses (14-54 and Sigma 55-200), a  
P*wershot S70 compact digital machine, XA with Ilford film, XA with  
Provia and XA4 with one or the other.  That means that I have a  
camera bag with nothing inside!  Or shall I put in an OM4 with 21,  
35, 50, 90 and 200 in an extra bag?  My tripod will be my darling  
little Velbon Ultramaxi SF - small enough to fit in the hold luggage,  
but large enough for standing shots.

Decisions, decisions!

Chris
