Subject: [Leica] away photographing

I will be off of the LUG for, at least, the next week. I am spending a
week, with my wife, in Carmel, and will be photographing the California
coast between Carmel and somewhat south of Big Sur. Both Leica M & R, and
4x5 Linhof. Lots of 35 & 4x5 Velvia, some 35mm E200, some 4x5 Tmax 100,
some 35mm APX 25.

And in case anyone is interested,

2 R7's, 15/3.5, 28/2.8 PC, 35/2, 50/2, 100/2.8 APO and ELPRO, 70-180/2.8
APO, 350/4.8, 2x APO extender.

1 M6, 24/2.8 ASPH, 35/1.4 ASPH, 50/2 DR and eyes, 75/1.4

1 Linhof Master Technica, 75/4.5 Rodenstock Grandagon, 120/5.6 Schneider
Super Symmar HM, 180/5.6 Symmar-S MC, 270/6.3 Nikkor-T*ED, 360/8
Nikkor-T*ED, 500/11 Nikkor-T*ED.

The 270, 360, & 500 are telephoto designs so that they do not consume much
bellows draw. The Linhof is a "field" camera and therefore has limited
bellows extension. 400mm (15.75 inches).

Polarizers, KR3, ND.6, and split ND that will fit all lenses.

A note of possible interest. I chose the LF lenses on two criteria.
Performance AND filter thread size. All of my LF lenses (listed above) have
67mm filter threads. One size fits all. It sure makes things easy.

See you in a week, or so.
