The LUG is a unique phenomenon. That said, even though I got a little of every idea under the sun, you have actually helped me in my thinking. The 35mm seems to be the popular favorite, as it was with me on my trips some years ago. So, that's coming with me, along with my 50 and 90, all M. I already own these, and as Mark points out, that's what I'm already comfortable with. The lenses will ride on two classic M6's. I want those lengths, because on a group tour, I probably will not have much freedom to be changing my vantage point, with the whole group waiting, while I pursue my passion :)) :)) I'll have one lens on one camera about my neck and another on an M6 in my Domke with a sling or wrist strap for a quick grab. The same slide film in each, maybe Provia 100F, with some 400F in reserve. And in the desert, I'll probably put on a UV f-lt-r. Well, that's no worse than the language that Curtis Fant used. :)) If I hit the lottery, I'll spring for the Tri-Elmar and a 28mm VF. Or if I simply get sufficiently mellow on the 15-year-old Laphroaig that's in my cabinet. More chance of that than hitting the lottery. Too many thread participants for me to thank you all, but I am appreciative. Happy every dang holiday in the world to the whole group. You're a great bunch.

Have you seen the commercial, I think it's for a cell phone, where a African-American Rabbi in a Santa Suit and several Mullahs wish everyone a Happy Chrismahannaramakwanza? Happy Chrismahannaramakwanza to everybody! Tina Tina Manley, ASMP www.tinamanley.com _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
