Dear Frank,

While I often take with me several lenses, I virtually always end up using
the same combination, my M plus 35mm Summicron, and so after the first day I
leave the rest in the hotel safe.  So now now I usually take just this
minimal combination in a little bag that straps round my waist - no weight,
no pain, no decisions as to which lens to put on, just take photographs!  I
am off to Bangkok on Tuesday and that is all I'll take.  Oh, plus some rolls
of Tri-X!
