You will definitely get bonus points in the Leica stack if you bring your M8 and the R8DMR ;-) The Aussie contingent intend to be well represented. Foreign cameras however are permitted to photograph the stack! FWIW my Barcelona lenses tend to be 70% 35mm and 30% 50-75mm. I just travel with one body. Ill put in the baby Oly that shares the M EVF. You will need two hands to safely operate the Porron at the LUG dinner though.
