You can let us know you are coming here.

Next, my wife, Debbie, and I are taking a week-long trip to Montreal and Quebec City in December, so what camera(s) should I bring? The weather will be cold, and there will be lots of walking, so keeping the gear to a minimum is a priority. Fortunately for me, Wayne and our knowledgeable listeners are here to help me decide.

The Minolta Maxxum 5:  a modern choice

The Leica ilia:  classic vintage

Wayne and his wife, Teresa, are planning trip to Norway next year, and if he were to shoot 35mm film, his camera of choice would be a classic compact rangefinder, the Canon Canonet QL17 Giii. Wayne's copy looks resplendent in its blue leatherette.

Speaking of good travel cameras, the 3A Kodak Series II folding camera certainly is not that, but it was a fine camera in its day. Wayne's copy is in excellent condition; all it needs is a roll of 122 film. Where can Wayne get that? A super helpful listener comes through with a source.
