What filters and film do you carry on travels?

from Allan Engelhardt (allane@cybaea.com)

Thanks for creating this forum -- great idea. Now I hope that my question and picture turns out OK. Let's try:

Market stall in Seville, Spain
Fuji NPS, Canon EOS 3, EF 28-135 IS USM

My question is: what filters and film do you usually carry on your travels when weight and space is at a premium? I always seem to have problems with mixed light. Of course I have filters at home to help (though in this particular example I'm not sure I could have fixed it if it had been a slide) but I can't carry them all around town.

So what are your suggestions? A warm-up filter, a FL-D, a FL-W, tungsten conversion, ... ? And do you use screw-in filters (Hoya et al.) or square filters (Lee et al)? (I guess it depends on how many filter sizes you need to cover?)

 

One question on the forum: is it open for photo critique questions? It doesn't seem to be clear in the guidelines...

Now let's hope the posting turns out OK
