I took two M6s, one black for B&W film and one chrome for color, a 90 TE, 35 f/2 and a 50 f/2. Also, a shirt pocket P&S, Olympic Stylus and plenty of film. All of this was packed in a Domke 803. Worked real well for me. Enjoy your visit and take plenty of money. You can shoot in the museums very well using your f2 lenses and a 400 speed film. I shot Superia 400 and was well satisfied. It was the first time I shot color in a Leica and the results were truly amazing. Robert G. Stevens wrote: > My wife and I are planning a trip to Paris next month.
