Visiting a country for the first time always gives me a unique perspective and excitement. You see things differently after returning two or three times. As usual, I?ll probably use my 35 Summicron or 50 Summilux most frequently. I always take a wide angle and telephoto lenses but they seem to stay in my camera bag for most of my travels. It will be nice using an M body and not having to carry a heavy Canon 5D Mk3 with a zoom lens on it. Hopefully, people will just ignore a guy wearing a Tilley hat with an ?old camera? taking photos.
