We were there two years ago on a cruise and, of the countries we visited, decided that Greece was the one to see more of first. I'm taking an M6 with 35/2 ASPH, 50/2, a borrowed 90/2.8 and a Kodak Retina IIIC. Kodak Royal Gold 100 and Ilford Delta 100 (in the Retina.) Last time I 'lugged' a Nikon N90 with 28-70 and 80-200 zooms. My M6 outfit will weigh less than just the big Nikon zoom. FWIW, the reason I looked at, drooled over, and finally bought the M6 was due the difference in size/weight compared to the N90 outfit. That plus optical superiority and a certain contrariness in my nature that prefers auto-nothing to auto-everything.
