http://bestbob.smugmug.com/ You'll see from the galleries here that travel photography is a special passion. I've been doing that since 1968, when posted to a NATO headquarters in Izmir, Turkey for service in the U.S. Army. That's where I bought my first SLR cameras, two Minolta 101s. I continue to use manual focus Minoltas, either the original SRTs or an XE-7 and an XK acquired in 1999 to "update" my kit. My only auto focus camera is the Vectis S-1... received as a gift and not valued until the first travel trip when the reduction in size and weight was much appreciated. The APS format has limitations (film choice, negative size if you want prints larger than 8x14, and slow aperture lenses) but used with 100 ISO film and a tripod when needed, this is my preferred travel kit. I travel often in my work and a Contax Tix APS camera is with me always when I do. Probably the best lens on any APS camera. Someday I may post "Pictures from an Airplane."
