I'm going to Rome for a few days for business and planned to travel very light - only hand luggage. Although my ticket allows checked in as well.

Anyway leaving my cameras at is not an option.

I love architecture photography in alluring compositions shot with BW film.  

So my thoughts were to either go light with my F3P and a 20/3.5 or 35/1.4. Skip the PC lenses, tripods etc.
Or try to squeeze in my RB67 SD with a 50 or 65mm and do it properly in 6x8 with Pan-F.

Bringing both often just stresses me as it tends to be too much fiddling and too little photography. I do have many tripods in various sizes but not sure if I should bring any of then with me. They do add a lot of weight.

Any valuable thought on this?

Hi,

I´m not sure if you will run in trouble with a tripod in hand luggage. I have it always in my checked in luggage.
I would take the F3 with the 35mm.

Thank you Reinski  for you thoughtful insights. 
I’ve packed tripods in hand luggage before when travelling within EU without any problems and this is a small one - the GT3320BS. 

But I don’t think I’ll bring it as I probably follow your recommendation and go light with my F3P. But I’ll bring both my 35 and my 20. 

Thanks again.
