memory cards for trip

[ortega]

this over exposing of exposure is based on a centre weighted metering
others may be different.

Since you are shooting digital

shoot
look at nice 2.5" lcd
and plus or minus from there.

 

[ortega]

2 x CF card
1 x portable HDD storage.

is the way to go.
Just FYI with the VR turned on the camera needs more power and so your batteries will dry up faster, so judge from your shutter speed and focal lenght used to decide if you need the VR

your memories are priceless, no amount of money will get them back once they are gone
anyway sell off your other under utilised lenses for one of these babies

 

[ortega]

btw you carry top notch equipment, cannot match with el cheapo potable storage without LCD.

if you feel as such then buy el cheapo lor
since you complain that the lenses are too heavy and you don't use it
so why keep?

investment in the dry box will only become dryer :bsmilie:
might as well use the money on something you actually use often.

$1k but use 3 times in a year = $333 per use
$1k but use 12 times in a year = $83.33 per use

Maybe in 1 thousand years from now, it's antique....
If don't use can preserve longer, therefore higher value when passed down to descendants.

Oh... you are right...
I forgot to mention I tend to use centre weighted and center focusing... instead of evaluative matrix.... Maybe thats why.

Nice work Ortega for pointing that out...

haha can't help it :bsmilie:
no offense intended

anyway get a quality portable storage device without the LCD will be much cheaper

don't worry, you are not the one yet.
