Dear Ulrich Häuser,
you learned the lesson earlier… Duplicate picture are boring, and they cause unnecessary work. On my first trip with the Tri-X in the Rollei 35 and the tiny Ricoh GRIIIx, it worked well because it was clear from the start that I would take different pictures. This time, things were different.
But never mind, I had a wonderful trip, and there was no obligation to complete any photographic task. My fond memories of this journey are far more important than the photos!
All the best, Jörg-Peter

Dear Chris, the Swiss Roll project sounds brilliant. I am afraid I won’t have the time for it any soon, despite the fact that Zürich, Bad Ragaz and Julierpass are not far from where I live. But if I did, I would definitely take some old Leica rangefinder camera, maybe an early M3 or even a late screw mount model. But that‘s purely hypothetical at this moment. Best wishes, JP

Thanks, Stephen, for this feedback. You are right of course, I will change that! JP

Half the width and half the height, therefore one-quarter of the surface area.

What’s next? No idea, to be honest.” Why not use your excellent photographic skills in producing stunning images from the route the mystery couple took during the 1950 “Swiss Roll” motoring holiday? Now there’s a project you might enjoy. What camera would you take?
Chris

I had over years the combo M6 and M9 as my trip set-up. Resulting in a lot of dublicate pictures and at the end 90% done with the M9. So I came to the conclusion to go with film or digital to enjoy the trip and not being always in a conundrum!
