Advice on filters while traveling with film

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I'm traveling abroad soon for the first time. While traveling in the US I normally drive so I travel fairly heavy, but I know I need to travel lighter this time.Also, I'm traveling to Armenia so availability of filters and other supplies might be nonexistent.

I'll be shooting both black and white and color film, and I'm struggling which filters to bring. I know for sure I'm bring a full set of color contrast filters(R29, R25, YA3, YA2, K2, K1, X1, and X0), but color film filters are harder to pick out. For example I'm trying to decide if I really need 80A, 80B, 82A, and 82B. Another issue is I shoot with Olympus OM so my most of my lenses are 49mm and 55mm, but I want to bring the 180mm F2.8 which is 72mm. I'm probably overthinking this, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

 

Edit: I have full sets of filters in all three sizes, but I rarely use 72mm filters on my 49mm lenses due to finding it awkward, so I'm feeling that I should bring 55mm filters and then just 4-5 72mm filters.
