Hello,

I am going into a trip thrugh Egypt in two weeks and I would like to 
know if any lugger has photographic experiences there. My main 
doubts are :

1.- To take Leica M or R. Which will be more suitable ??
2.- How to avoid haze produced by the hot climate. Is a U.V filter 
enough ?? Or is better a polarizer ??
3.- A 28 mm lens will be enough to take photographs of pyramids 
and local architecture ?? I don't have a 24mm nor 21mm. Maybe I 
can buy one of the Voigtlander lenses for the trip. Anyone has the 
24mm Skopar ??

Please, let me know your opinions.

Thanks.
