Being arrested I'm not worried about. I'm sure it's not a very pleasant experience, but I know I'll be in and out rather quickly if that were to happen. The polysterene sounds like a better idea than mine.. I was just planning on using bubble wrap, cuz I know I can pick up a few sheets at work, but that white stuff is just even better (and in almost every electronics box out there!). :P As for film.. I'll give Ilford a try. I just got a roll of TMax 400 back, and it was a bit too grainy for my taste. And the one time I used 800 film, it was extremely awful (though that was Konica and it was free.. so I might give it another chance later on). For the strap, I figured I'd just use laptop anti-theft wire instead of the cloth strap - it's thin and it's extremely solid. I figure I can just slide it in a cotton strip so I don't get my hand ripped off in case someone gets nasty. :) All in all, should be fun stuff - I keep the 'no pain no gain' line in mind going into this. :) Now I'll just start practicing on quickly turning and focusing so I don't just get blurry shots all the time. :P =DarkPen=
