[Leica] Northern Lights Trip

[Ken Carney]

That is very interesting.  My walking-around outfit is a Fuji XE-2 with 
a 23mm 1.4.  I have a Duluth "tradesman's" vest with the 56mm 1.2 in one 
pocket and the 14mm 2.8 in another.  At the hotel I have another Fuji 
body and a 35mm 1.4 as a backup.  I use the 23mm and the 14mm about 75% 
of the time...maybe I should sell a kidney and look into the Leica Q.  
Just one little package to lug around.
