Ray,

Been there many times.  The Leica would be lighter but you would want the
21mm for many of the beautiful beach scenics and other landscapes.  
The zoom however would make the grab shots easier.  When I was there last I
was used an SLR with 28-85mm lens, which never came off my camera.  The
Canon setup would allow you to shoot some neat tele shots off your balcony
or off the beach using the 70-200mm lens.  Things like windsurfers, boats,
surfers, etc. 
Besides, IMHO the EOS-1N metering system better in certain situations.

Subject: [Leica] What to bring to Hawaii



Hi,

I'm planning a trip to Maui and Kauai this June, and I'm trying to
decide what is more appropiate to bring on the trip. It will be either
an M6 with 35mm and 50mm lens or a Canon EOS1n with a 28-70 and 70-200
lens. I really don't want to be overloaded and burdened by heavy
equipment, but on the other hand I want to make sure that I have enough
coverage for more situations. I'm also thinking about adding either a
21mm or 90mm to the Leica package.

TIA,
