So I am off to the island of Oahu this weekend; yey for me! 
I will be taking my Olympus Pen-F digital but debating which film camera to take with me. Avoiding the answer "all of them!" I just want to take one as I have a young child so luggage space is at a premium.
Here are the options;
1. Voitländer Vitomatic II - This is a great little fixed lens rangefinder with built in meter and often a travel companion (maybe time for a change this trip?).
2. Miranda Sensorex - 35mm SLR for which I have a 50mm and 35 mm lens, the 50mm is excellent and I at 1.9 good for all light levels also has built in meter - a little bulky maybe.
3. Voitländer Prominent - Changeable lens rangefinder for which I have a 50mm and 100mm. I took this to the UK recently its a great performer but I will also need to take a light meter.
4. Mamiya 35 Executive - this is a new camera to me and I've only shot one roll through it. It's another fixed lens rangefinder (48mm 1.9) just not sure of its reliability yet; also requires light meter.
5. Mamiya C330 - probably way too bulky. Again a light meter will be required and again I've not had this one long enough to be confident it is reliable.
6 Voigtländer Vito-C - very pocketable ultra compact with auto everything except focus which is range focusing - takes good pictures if you get the focus right.
There are many others to choose from but these are what I am considering - what do you think?
