Washington DCisions

For those of you who don’t like puns, I apologize for the title, but people who know me know I can’t resist such a thing.

Tomorrow morning I head to Washington DC to stay with a friend for the long weekend most of us have here in the States, and so like before I left for Japan I’m posting about my inability to decide what equipment to take. This time though, I’m more concerned about what camera than what lenses.

Basically the choices are:

Nikon D200
Nikon FE (film)
Mamiya 645E (medium format film)

I’m not planning on taking too many photos, and the Mamiya might be a bit bulky, but I just got it so I want to try it out on something different. I’ve been using the FE a bit more recently, and it’s small and great for candids and getting out of my way and letting me shoot. The D200 of course gives me everything wonderful that comes with digital.

24 hours left to decide.

P.S. For anyone wondering about the new background image, see my post on Byodo-in.

As you do not plan to take many pictures, you should take your D200 with your zoom lens. No headache!

I like your new background, Byodo-in roof.

Final choice

I did end up taking the D200, but I have the 85mm f/1.4 on it.
