I've been to Germany many times, but always as a civilian. Spent a lot of time around Weinheim and Heidelberg but explored all over.

I travel to Bavaria just about every summer for vacation. In fact, I will be taking a trip over there next week. Usually I bring two cameras with me - a compact digital camera, as well as one of my film cameras. This year, my film camera of choice will be a Canonet QL17 GIII, which I've recently purchased at a flea market for a few dollars and then successfully restored to fully working condition. I'm quite excited.
