I'd bet $100 that whatever you were told to leave behind would end up being the very first lens you need. If your going to Hawaii I don't imagine you're back packing the gear, so take it all! Rent a car and throw it in the trunk and you'll have everything you need. Rather than saying to yourself later, "Damn why didn't I bring that.....!" Trust me, been there, done it when trying to go light gear. If you're only doing happy-snaps and that's the case, just take the M6, a 35 or wider and live with it! Oh yeah and a tripod just incase you want to go spear fishing! :) ted Ted Grant This is Our Work. The Legacy of Sir William Osler. http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
