If I still had a Hexar AF I might just take that and be done with it.

In that case, the M9 and a 35mm may just be perfect.
(But I do love that Super Angulon. and my 50 rigid Summicron. And my CV
75mm f/1.8)

Anyways, I have about 10 months to plan and plan and plan. I always
think the key is to bring less than what I think I might need. Too much
just gets unused.
