A3: A lens hood to shield the front element, a towel in the bag to dry stuff off, a pack cover for my camera bag if it's really supposed to pour. It also helps if your camera is weather resistant! #photochat

I loved that the negative was still sensitive to light after a peel, and it would solarize if it didn't go into fixer right away. I did not love the prints - they were hot garbage - and the iffy quality control. Clips that fell off, too much chemistry in the pods that would gum up the rollers.

I normally do Parade of Spirits portraits with this beast, a 4x5 Cambo Legend. However the park is under construction so there's nowhere that's out of the wind, near an outlet (for the big monolights), and is big enough to do full body photos with a 210mm lens.

Medium format this year.
