My initial thoughts are; Leica M6; 35 asph f1.4 summilux 50 f1 noctilux 90 f4 elmar C 135 f4 tele-elmar Leica R7; 15 f3.5 super-elmar 50 f2 summicron Rollei 2.8F [rolleikin] using TCN 400 for portraits b/w filters and softar Leica Z2X for print snaps Cullman Magic II tripod Sunpak auto 30D flash Backpack type equipment case 15 rolls of Kodachrome 64 10 rolls of TCN 400 5 rolls of Kodacolor 400 We are away for 2 weeks. I hope to buy a zoom or two for the R7, perhaps the 35-70 and 70-200 [70-180 may stretch the friendship and the luggage limits.] and a 21 asph for the M. Although I could take the M3 as a back up, I suspect the two systems will "back" each other. Helen will largely use the R and I the M. I did consider the 50 DR summicron and the viso/65 elmar for close up work, though I suspect the 35-70 zoom will handle the amount of "macro" we will want to do. Too much or too little.
