[Leica] traveling to Turkey and Greece this week

[Richard Clompus]

Thank you for the recommendations.  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.  

Be well,
Richard
