http://chiaroscuro.co.nz/2003/ and http://chiaroscuro.co.nz/2008/ for my
pre-Leica days ;-)

2003 was Contax G2 with 21/35/90

2008 Nikon D100 12-24 and 24-120 (nasty one)

I bought a D300 just after the 2008 set, I took as many photos with that in
15 months as I do in a month with the M9 these days......

John is certainly one of my heros, but most of the work I have seen is in
the details.  I was referring to the overall grandness of the place outside,
and especially for the interiors....

Oh, forget it, bring both.....

Oddly enough no IMO, you cannot get close to most of the landscape in NZ
(well not as a general tourist) so often a standard or short tele works
better.

Look me up if you are in Wellington Jay, although I away some of "the fall".

In my estimation, you need WA lenses in NZ rather than teles.......

Obviously, YMMV

I've got my heart set on upgrading to the Summicron 90 Apo Asph current
version #11884.
