I know what you mean about carrying all the other lens too, and I'm sure I
would end up doing that :-), but personally having all three focal lengths
on the camera, even at F4, would be so useful when travelling.

<< I had a look at
 http://www.imx.nl/photosite/leica/mseries/testm/trielmar.html it's very
 tempting, for me F4 would be enough most of the time - I could always take
 my 35mm Summilux  (also from the mid/late 60s) for low light shots.

Hello Steve . I have been contemplating the Tri - Elmar for more than 2
years
and I think that the new version even makes it harder to resist now .
But , just like you said " I could always take the Lux .... " .
That means , that you will end up carrying all your lenses when you travel .
I've already got a 35 summicron Asph , a 15 Heliar , a 50 Summicron and
a 90 Tele-Elmarit .
Knowing my self , I'm quite sure that if I buy it , it will not travel alone
.
I would always carry the other lenses along too .
I could sell all the rest for it , but then I would regret it as soon as
leave the store .
Finally , I think it's a good lens if you just own this one and not anything
else .
This is a little bit like the different viewfinders they offer for the M6 .
Annything else than the .72 , and your tools are becoming very specific and
thus limited in there use .
Hard to tell , but maybe the truth !
