I am planning on leaving it at home at this point as it does draw attention
of the negative type in public.  And I figure most photos will be of
scenery, people and town buildings etc.  My photo kit will consist of the
M6TTL with 35/1.8 CV, 50/2 Summicron, 90/2.8 Tele-Elmarit, R4sp, Leicaflex
SL with 35/2.8 Elmarit, 90/2.8 Elmarit, 28 -70 Vario Elmar, and 200/4 Telyt
w/R Adapter.  Should cover most possibilities, although I could use a 24...

I'd only take the 560 if the trip were specifically for wildlife photos.

Well let's put it this way  i plan on taking all of my lenses and 3
leicas on our trip to Germany and Poland in December, but Should I/or is
it wise to take the 560/6.8 Telyt?  I ask this as it could be mistaken
by one of the local authorities as a rifle, especially if i use the
shoulder stock, which is probably the best way to steady this lens.  i
would not want them to shoot first and ask questions later, but this is
my only really long lens.
