I'd take the 15mm, drop the 75mm and take the 90mm.

The 15mm takes up so little room and provides totally different view of the
world to the rest. 75mm and 90mm - I hardly ever use anything longer than
50mm and 90mm is a bit more of a contrast to a 50mm than a 75mm.

Just one thing, if you're here for 2 weeks bring, or be prepared to buy,
lots of film :-)

I don't know if you've been to Paris before, but if you've got any questions
just ask either on or off list.

Steve

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?

Regards,

Robert
