>>4214408>What do you think?If you need to ask here, it's a terrible fucking idea. If you had experience and confidence to not make it a messy failure, you wouldn't be asking. That said:
>Minolta af slr + 1.7 50mmBest choice, but get 24mm and 35mm instead, both preferably f/1.4. Hospital rooms are small, and you don't know the time of day it will happen, lighting might be shit.
Bring a fast 85mm too if you really care for close-ups or portraits.
>Mamiya 645 + 2.8 70mmSure, if you don't mind carrying it as a *second* camera. When things get slow you might get some precious money shots (baby and mom sleeping, this kind of stuff), but boy, you don't want it as your only/main camera.
>Mju2 (af + flashNo fucking flash around the baby!
>delta 3200 (too much grain)Best choice, again you don't know what lighting will be and this has the widest latitude, pull to 400 if it's a bright day, or go balls to the wall 3200 or even 6400 if you need it. When life gives you grain, embrace it and love it.
>HP5 (can push it to 800/1600 with no risks)Second best, ideally have a few rolls of each and choose depending on conditions.
>Double X (can push it to 800)Fuck meme films for once in a lifetime occasions.
Also:
>Portra 160 and 800For the Mamiya and said money shots, otherwise it's not worth lugging it just shoot more b&w, especially when it's just 645.
Also just bring a fucking DSLR and shoot in parallel with it, in case you fuck up your messing with film somehow.
Also also, see
>>4214463 and
>>4214536 and absolutely don't be a dickwad about it, the baby and mom will need your support physically and emotionally so be prepared to drop it all when needed.
Also also also, congratulations and good luck, if this is your first then you're up for one hell of a ride. Once it's go time, forget what night and day was. If it's not your first, then you know the drill I guess.
t. been there, done that (I decided last minute to only bring DSLR, and looking back I don't regret it).
