There's more to be said about using ones photographic eye with one camera than the option of grabbing a choice of two or three. :-) So Gene old buddy when you read this and Sonny's comments it might be a couple of thoughts to consider. :-) One M8, a couple of lenses and shoot everyone's butt off!:-) Go for it! :-) I double dare you! :-) :-) ================================================================+===== That's my view as well. Unless you're on assignment. On a recent personal vacation in DC I took only a CL w/40mm and an Oly XA for the pocket. Worked out great IMO. If this makes you too nervous, then throw in a 90 or 28. I'll never forget a trip I took to the Loire Valley back in the 70s -- 2 Leicas, a Pentax, about 8 lenses and other junk. I spent more time fiddling with camera bags and gear than taking pictures. I feel I could do fine on any trip with a 40mm. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
