I've got nearly six months to decide; time enough to get a used 35-70 f/4 and see how I get along with it. If good, I keep it and take it on my big vacation. If I'm uncertain with the focusing, then it's the M's. In the words of Archie Bunker, "End of discussion".

That's it! In a wild and careless moment maybe two lenses. On this type of tour with a bunch of folks it's off the bus, 2 minute stay, back on bus to next 2 minute stop. It's hectic for shooting anything but grab and snap stuff. If you have an R I'd take it and the 21-35 or the 35-70 and that's it. If you have both I might take both. MAYBE! However, the chances are I'd go 21-35 and that's it. I do beleive at some point you said it was for "happy snaps" of the trip. If that's the case it really is KISS !!! "Keep it simple stupid!" Therefore, one camera, one lens rules! ted _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
