Dr G capturing me in action. I actually like the water droplets on the lens. When we started I mentioned to keep the lens dry. I thought it would be easy. The moment we got out there the wind picked up plus w the paddling that wasn’t going to happen! So make sure to take a water resistant camera - just don’t drop it when you get back to the hotel…

I have been having a hard time deciding on a film (and/or compact) camera to take on an upcoming trip to Iceland. You have reminded me that with all of the inclement weather we might encounter, my Konica Genba Kantoku DD would be a fun choice. Even if the flash doesn't quite illuminate valleys! Thanks for the inspiration Huss. Not the first time, and won't be the last I'm sure.
There *is* a happy, familiar feeling about it. The world is kinda right again.
I showed the Pentax to an older friend yesterday who sneered, "What the hell are you doing that for?"
I handed him the camera and went into a store to pick something up, got back into the car and he was looking at it fondly.
"You want to do it again, don't you?"
"Yeah, I do."

And the Tevas are fire too.
Love that pic, so serene! Definitely take that Konica, the pics you posted from it show it’s no slouch. And it is so freeing taking a camera that handles inclement conditions.
I briefly thought about taking a pair of Nikonos Vs but they are too serious, and you need to set focus, maybe adjust the aperture, and wind on manually. Plus no flash. The p&s cameras were so much easier to deal w while kayaking esp because I’d have to ‘teach’ Dr G a new camera when frankly the Fuji’s are all that we needed.
