I go through about 5 rolls a day when traveling, so I just bring a small collapsible cooler and keep everything in it, along with whatever I pick up out of the cold case for lunch. A week or two doesn't really bother it *that* much. For that matter, my camera case *is* a small collapsible cooler. Lunches just don't look worth stealing. I doubt I'd take only pro into a hot desert... I'd probably bring both amateur and pro films there unless I could get the pro films out for processing easily. I've done slide processing myself, but it's a pain. > Yes, having had our own dark room all those years we were very > familiar with changing filtration packs.

I'm not a color print person... since I'm always taking photos for teaching, I prefer slides, and let the labs make prints from the few slides I want. Works better than prints to slides. ;-) Kay
