[Leica] IMGS: Tests with MM and M246

[Aram Langhans]

You are probably right, Lluis, but I am selfish.  I really want to see what 
SL photos she would show us from Iran.  I am sure they would be stupendous. 
But that could be a problem for my wallet.

Tina,

In a such trip my opinion is do as simple as you can, I think it will be 
better for you carrying the M 240 and 246, (same batteries)
, I’m sure that with your knowledge of edition you will not appreciate  big 
differences between MM and M246, on the other hand M246 is maybe more useful 
for a rapid use, it blocks better the highlights than the MM and it allow go 
to high ISO with less noise. About the Nocti… I think you will have a very 
small difference in DOF, this would be the only reason to take it (not for 
the light) and IHMO in a trip like this comfort is important. More free you 
will be of equipment more free you will be for creativity!

Cheers
Lluis
