The last time she did this, she started tossing binoculars at me -- luckily, these were Zeiss and Docter glasses, and tough. Only one was damaged, and the Lifetime Warranty fixed that. Now, she tosses me out again, more peacefully this time, but I don't trust her. What to take? The answer is economic: I rated all by economic standards. That is, the first trip saw my gear worth more than $US 1,000 go with me -- Leica M6, Rollei 2.8GX, Questar, APO (Leica TM!) Televid, 1.5/7.5cm Biotar, and so forth. The second run saw me dropping to the $750 range (Rollei 2.8F, VISO lenses). The run today will see me clean out the last of the LTM stuff and the Mutar and so forth. She left four messages on my answering machine and then called a fifth time and got me: she wants to talk. Sheezh! I am TIRED after lugging all this German (yeah, the Questar is American, but it might as well be German for its weight!) metal around! Life is hell: I did leave the Canon EOS for her.
