Film: Color or B & W or both when you travel?

Black and White film only. I am not good enough to do well with both.

A recent trip to Berlin with Agfa APX 100 black and white and Agfa Precisa 100 Colour Slide Film was a very pleasant combination. Very much enjoyed using them with my Bessa R2a and 35mm f/1.4 SC.

I've popped some photos up at http://www.expono.com/markrich/album/16698.

Since I bought my Monochrom, I've bee pretty well using nothing but it for 'personal' work, and vacations are no exception. Usually I'll shoot colour if we go someplace more 'tropical'.

I always bring both, but shoot a little more color than b&w. Sometimes I regret that later--especially midday shots when lighting may be less than ideal--but not usually.

Good to see this thread for my upcoming around the world trip (next year). I'm already thinking about how I want to do it photography wise. The only thing that's sure I want to photograph - a lot. I have never travelled with film before (except when I lived overseas and had to take my film back home) so don't know how cumbersome it is. Of course I love film, but it seems like it could be quite the hassle. And then there's of course the question which film to bring, which is even harder. Also on the fence about what camera setup to bring. Aaaargh. The choices.
Right now I'm thinking B&W on film and digital color.

Some long -long- time ago, I used to go with three bodies, B&W, color neg and slides always loaded. With the advent of digital I used a loaded body (usually G2, M or a Nikon SLR) with B&W and used the DSLR for color. Nowadays, when and if I use film, I carry a Klasse, Contax T2 or Contax G2 with color negative and some NEXes. B&W only makes sense to me as a result of digital conversion, either from direct file out of the camera or as a result of a hybrid process.

It is getting so difficult to find any place in the States that does good color processing, so for the last few years, when I travel I only shoot B&W film. All the color is done with digital. Real shame as I used to shoot quite a bit of Kodak Ektachrome.

Best,
