But since I didn't, what I was going to say if I said it was that you, Robert, are too serious about what you do photographically to be asking someone else what lenses YOU should take anywhere. You and only you know what you like to shoot with. You and only you know whether you need a 135 for the kind of photos you shoot, whether most of what you shoot you shoot with a 24 or a 35. Anyway, as I said, I should have just pushed delete after venting to myself.;-) Have a great trip, btw.... - -----Original Message----- From: B. D.

It's one thing for a member of the neck jewelry crowd to be asking the "what lenses should I take question," but you?

Stevens Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2002 11:23 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] Trip to Paris My wife and I are planning a trip to Paris next month. We are just waiting to hear back on what flats are available for rent. We plan on taking my son Gordon and staying for about two weeks. I am thinking of just leaving the R8 at home and bringing two M6 and an M3. What lenses would you suggest? I have a 15mm Heliar, 24mm ASPH, 35mm Summicron ASPH, 50mm Summicron,Noctilux, 75mm Summilux, 90mm Elmarit, and 135mm f4 Tele-Elmarit. I was thinking of the 24mm, 35mm Summicron, Noctilux, and 75mm Summilux. I may bring the 50mm Summicron too as it weighs so little. Since we are renting a flat, I can always leave the lenses I don't need in the apartment. I am not sure whether I need the 75mm Summilux or not. Would the 135mm come in handy instead? In reality, I should only need the 35mm and 50mm lenses, with perhaps the 24mm in my pocket or on a third body. My film will probably be E200, Provia 100F, and Tmax 400. If you were going to Paris next month, what cameras (Leica) and lenses would you take?
