I will take only what I intend on using for the day. the rest will probably be kept in the reserve for when it is needed. I expect to carry one camera and a couple of lenses at any one time. Possibly a second camera in the bag for film type change. Would love to have a second M body, but the wife still is not over my getting my current M6TTL last year. ;-) She is already accusing me of wanting to buy some Leica gear when we get over there. I don't know why she thinks that. ;-) (A trip to the Solms factory is on the agenda) Gene |---------+--------------------------------------------------------> | | Jeffery Smith <jls@runbox.com> | | | Sent by: | | | lug-bounces+grduprey=rockwellcollins.com@leic| | | a-users.org | | | | | | | | | 05/18/2004 02:07 PM | | | Please respond to Leica Users Group | | | | |---------+--------------------------------------------------------> >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> | | cc: | | Subject: RE: [Leica] Best Lenses To Take To Honolulu | >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Yikes!
