If you are going to buy, then heck, save money and just hire someone to take the photos for you! LOL! Okay, bad joke. Sorry... The ideal travel kit... give me an M3 with a 90mm elmarit and an M4 with a 35mm summilux (asph, pre-asph... don't care which) with a incident meter and I would be good to go. Well, maybe I would also stuff a 50mm 'lux in my pocket just in case -- since I'm dreaming here about glass I can't afford anyway... :-( BK > -----Original Message----- > > From: "Kim Lau" <kimlau@hotmail.com> > Subject: [Leica] Ideal M travel lens combination > > What are your thoughts on an ideal travel M system (up to 4 lens) with 2 > bodies (0.72 and 0.85)?
