I used the 35 & 50 90% of the time. I'm going back in Sept for 2 weddings and I have to bring a larger arsenal which will be in 2 Pelican cases. For my "tourist" shots, I plan on just one M6 +35 & 50 lenses. That was my first trip to NY and was amazed by how many blocks I walked during the days. Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "dnygr" Subject: [Leica] M gear NYC > I wouldn't bring the 135. I shoot in the city all the time, and I use wide angles. On a sunny day, the city is highly contrasty with areas very bright and others in shadow. I use Ilford 3200 at 1000 and develop accordingly. I want depth of field and a relatively fast shutter. > > In picking my lenses for the city, I'd have one that is fast, a wide one, and one moderate telephoto. > > When I go to Europe, I take a panoramic camera and an M with the Tri-elmar. > > One thing to remember about New York is that the pavement is hard. Think light. I use a back pack and I walk at least a 100 blocks a day when I'm there. I generally have two cameras with, a panoramic and an M, just as in Europe, but I don't use the tri-Elmar in New York. I have only one Leica lens with--the one on the camera--and it can be either a 28 summicron, a 35 summilux or a 90 Elmar with macro attachment. > > My advice: think light. > > Doug Nygren _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
