I was wondering if any of you who has been to Fiji islands could share your experience in terms of places to stay, eat, and see (photography) there. This will be my first time experience to the south Pacific so your suggestions and recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Back to the topic with Leica, I love macro photography and I'm looking forward to visit Taveuni (the Garden isle) to enjoy the exotic tropical plants. Due to its convenience with macro photography, I'll be taking R7 with the following lenses: 60mm macro, 35mm Elmarit, 90mm Elmarit, and 180 Apo-Telyt. My M3/50-Summicron with TMAXs will be used mainly for subjects such as culture and people while touring the villages. I'm also a 4x5 shooter so I will be taking my Linhof MT with a set of LF lenses. The film of choice for both the 4x5 and R will be Velvia and E100VS if condition requires it. Now I need to go back and think about how to lighten the load of my backpack:-( Gerald Hsu Menlo Park, California
