My travel outfit (when I am flying or taking the train and therefore need to travel light) consists of two M6s and the 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 90mm and 135mm lenses. All of this fits in either a Billingham Alice or a Domke F-803 satchel. If I were to shave this to a really bare bones outfit, then it would have the 24mm, 35mm and 90mm lenses. Having never tried the 21mm lens, I cannot compare it to the 24mm. But I can say that the 24mm Elmarit is a fantastic lens, the best wide angle I have ever used.

I would have a body loaded for color slides and the other for black and white. I like the 50mm and 90mm focal lengths and am considering the 50mm Summilux and 90mm ASPH APO Summicron. Would you choose a 35mm ASPH Summicron and 24mm ASPH Elmarit combination with the above or pair them with a 28mm Elmarit and 21mm ASPH Elmarit? Another possible combination would to go for the Tri-Elmar ASPH with the 21, 50, and 90 lens. Do most users like the 21 over the 24 for interior architecture photography? Your input is much appreciated.
