If you had to take one film camera and ( max 2 lens) lens with you what
would you take with you.
Particulary if its in a hostile environment the chances are your camera
may
get destroyed or stolen from you at some time during your trip.
So cant be sentimental about losing the camera.
And daytime temperatures are likely to be up to 48C.

If I absolutely had to go, I'd take my Rollei E Type
3, w/ the trusty old Zeiss 75 f3.5. No batteries to expand, circuit boards
to heat warp, plastic lens barrels to get misaligned in the heat, and other
probs I havn't thought about.

But I couldn't take bug pix.

Yes, you could, with a +4 dioptre close-up lens pair.

You needn't fill the frame, either. Just use the 24x36mm central
portion of the negative.
