PHughs (John Flores too),

Yes, 35mm film cameras. I plan to take my Nikon F2AS and a couple of lenses, a 50mm and a nice 20-35mm f2.8 D lens.
The F2AS is a tough camera but I'd hate to jack it up as it's in pristine condition. I also have a couple of hard-used Nikkormat FTN's and may take one of those instead. I know they will survive the trip. They can take a tumble onto concrete, come off, brush the dust off and keep clicking away even without a battery.

It's the mechanical shutter and mirror that worries me from the vibration. I found some really good polyurethane closed cell foam that should do the trick.

To the rest of you, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

John Flores, that's a pretty sweet shot you got with your motor. I looked at the Lumix line but opted for a Fujifilm X100S instead. Super light, takes great photos, easy to use but I don't think it would take much abuse on the road.
