	You will appreciate the wider angle lenses in Europe,
	as you already have an APO 100mm.

	My two sets of choices would be:

	a/	19 mm Elmarit-R
		35mm Summicron

	b/	19 mm Elmarit-R
		28mm PC-Super-Angulon

	I can't think of much anything you could not serve
	with these 3 lenses in Europe (assuming the APO 100 mm).

	Since you already own a 35mm 'M', there's a lot
	of good that could come from choosing the 28mm PC.
	I am quite confident you'd use the 19mm a lot
	especially in the cities with many "cramped"
	photo-op quarters.

	If only ONE new lens: the 28mm PC  ! ! !
	No question on my mind.

	A fourth choice would revolve
	about choosing between

		APO-Vario-Elmarit 70-180mm

		APO-Telyt f/3.4 180 mm

		OR the APO-2X extender for your APO 100mm

	to extend your "reach". It may be very useful to "grab"
	people discreetly from a further distance ( pre-focus ! ).

	Then a Leica brand polarizer and orange or deep yellow
	if you enjoy black & white. This is the "vendanges": grape
	harvest . . . you LUCKY dog !

	Bon voyage !
