[Leica] Lens kit for europe

[afirkin at afirkin.com (Alastair Firkin)]

Now here's the solution, a new M8. Go for it Gene and with the spare cash 
pick up the TEW its great ;-) Of course you won't be able to travel to 
Europe now, but after all, what's the trip of a life time versus the feel of 
new leica "stuff" :-) 

I do think you could ditch the SLR: after all, the wife is carrying one for 
"emergencies". How about the M8, your lens selection, and a M6 with 5 rolls 
of b/w film. The M6 will give you the "wider" view you would get with the 
extra lenes and now acts as a back up: you can always buy more film if 
necessary in Europe


Cheers

Even better, sell all of your SLR stuff and buy a second M8 ;-) Put a 
15 (or 24) on one and a 90 on the other, two extra batteries in your 
pocket and a slew of SD cards.  One extra set of underwear and a 
couple of pairs of socks and that's all you need for the whole 
trip!!  We didn't check any luggage for a 5 week trip to India.
