Ola!

I would like to start a discussion of the ultimate Leica-R lens set that
would fit into a Lowe Pro off-road.  In it would fit one body, and 4 lenses
(not included converters) and a flash.  What are you thoughts??

My dream package:

R8

19   elmarit R (new)
35   summicron
100 elmarit APO macro
180 telyt APO
2x    APO converter
Good ol' Vivitar 283 flash


My current package:

RE

19   elmarit R (old)  a bugger to fit into my bag with everything else.
35   summicron  (old faithful)
90   elmarit  (new)
180 elmarit  (2nd version)
2x   extender - R
Good ol' Vivitar 283 flash


Other stuff at my disposal:

R3, R4, SL
 
50   summicron
17   Tamron
100 f4 macro elmar
135 f2.8 elmarit
400 f6.8 Telyt


Any thoughts/suggestions??
