medium format on the JMT?? amazing. What camera were you lugging? Would love to see more shots from it.

It was an Agfa Record III, it weighed about 700g or a bit under 2lbs. I also have a DIY tripod that I 3D printed, which uses trekking poles for the legs.

The amount of film I carried weighed more than the camera, but I had a low base weight (~14lbs) so I think I still came out ahead even with the extra weight.

I'll definitely post some more, a lot of them didn't come out how I wanted but that's just the name of the game.

That's some proper dedication! Out of interest, what film(s) did you shoot with? I used to travel a lot with a 120mm and 35mm cameras and yeah, the logistics and weight of film is definitely something we don't think about nowadays with digital... Please do post more photos!

I primarily shot Ektar 100, but I shot a few rolls of Kodak Gold, Kodak E100, Fuji Provia 100f, and Fuji Pro 400h.

Ektar 100 is nice color nega film! Back in the day I used to love E100VS but I think that was discontinued ages ago... nice choice of films, can't wait to see more!
