Sander:

I was in Cuba in the Spring, staying on a resort.  Not much to take
pictures of on the resorts.  Havana is a great spot, as well as some of the
areas in the country.  

My best pictures were taken with my M6 rather than my R.  In hind sight, I
would probably not bring as much gear again.  The R4 and lenses could
probably stay home.  My best pictures were with a 35mm Summicron, either
the R version on the R4 or the M version on the M6.

If you do stay on a resort, plan to do lots of excusions in order to get
some picture taking oppotunities.  I am told that you can hire a Taxi to
give you a private tour as well.  These people can be found through your
tour guide.

Regards,

Robert
