[Leica] Re: Williamsburg, Va., interior photography

If you're heading down Norfolk way, Howard, I strongly recommend a visit
to the Mariners' Museum in Newport News.  It's a little gem of a
collection dedicated to boats and ships in general (with a wonderful
small craft collection!) and to the Chesapeake region in particular.
It's also the site of the ongoing Monitor conservation project, which is
exceedingly cool (here's a link: http://tinyurl.com/8skwx).  It's
certainly worth a couple of hours.

Cheers!

        Thanks for all the advice about photography in Williamsburg and 
for the tips about the coffee shop and pub.

        We're hoping to go there June 8-11 or 12 for our 20th
anniversary. 
We've been talking about going for almost as long as we've been 
together and so far have not made it. I'll believe it when I 
actually get back! I also want to go down and see the U.S.S. 
Wisconsin, which is in Norfolk.

        I'm planning to take pretty much the whole lens kit: 15mm
Heliar, 
35mm Summilux, 50mm DR Summicron, and 90mm Tele-Elmarit M. I may 
also take the 135mm Tele-Elmar. I'm going to take two bodies, an 
M3 and an M2.

        I thought of the Noctilux not because its angle of view is well 
suited to interior photography, but because it's fast. If the 
Noctilux isn't fast enough, there's no hope for taking the picture.

        Thanks again. If I get anything decent I'll post it on the web.
