I will be taking at least 3 cameras to the Old World. A Sony α 10.2 megapixel digital SLR, a Pentax K 1000 (film camera), and a Sony Handy Cam 1080P Hi Definition digital video camera (120GB drive). Below is a list of the lenses I have for my two SLRs.

Lens For	Focal Range	f-stop Range	Filter Size	Macro Info	Manufacturer
Sony α	18mm-70mm	3.5-5.6	Ø55	0.38m/1.3ft MACRO	Sony
Sony α	75mm-300mm	4.5-5.6	Ø55	1.5m/4.9ft MACRO	Sony
Pentax K 1000	28mm-80mm	3.5-5.6	Ø58	Not Available (0.304m/1.0ft ±)	Vivitar
AllM1	0.42XAF Wide/Macro	N/A	N/A	Good Images at 0.5 inches	Unknown

I recently purchased a prime macro and fish-eye lens and took it to an New York Yankees v Atlanta Braves Game. It takes fantastic wide angle images. I will take more than a few of these on our trip! Details are above.

I can just hear you ask, "Why take an actual film camera?" Well, for many purposes, a low-speed, high-resolution film provides much more detail than a 10.x megapixel digital camera. Make no mistake, I thoroughly enjoy my Sony α; however, for photos I feel I might want to significantly enlarge, I will shoot a low-speed, high-resolution film (during the day, of course).

¹This lens is made to screw on to the filter adapter.
