[Leica] Highlands PAW 41

[John McMaster]

Many thanks George, it was a very enjoyable trip despite the cruise ships.  The first one you highlight is the Maltese Parliament building.

For the first time in years I did not take any M kit with me, 'just' S(007) and four lenses (24, 45,70 and 120, equivalent to 19, 35, 56 and 96) - still weighs ~9kg so that is the downside.  Lenses are about two stops slower than my M lenses (although still faster than zoom lenses), however it is far better at high ISO than my M(240) and some of these shots are at 12,800.
