Does it all make sense? F4 sounds too slow for inside.... in a dark restaurant.... Too much people movement 15 ( I think this is the lens with fisheye distortion?) sounds wrong to me if you are shooting people. 80 sounds too long for a small venue The Xpan sounds like the film solution ( how fast is the lens?). The M9 as the digital one. Maybe the most obvious choice is the M9 or Xpan with a flash ( yes, heresy though it may be, flash photography is not a mortal sin!) Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net I have the delicious task of selecting a kit for the trip. So, the purpose is a large Chinese dinner banquet, and general shooting. Some thoughts: - Xpan II with 45mm lens. One lens, wide for the banquet, normal for portraits, one camera. - Hasselblad 40mm and 100mm. Wide and portrait, heavy metal, although slow (f4) for inside. No flash planned. - Leica M9 with 50 and 24mm. The digital solution. - Leica R9 with 15mm and 80mm Which kit would you choose? Vick
