How did we get from the question of whether a 135 belongs on an M, to having to carry four cameras around?;-) B.

I don't use lenses longer than 135. So, in an small bag, I carry 2 bodies (B&W and Color) and 21, 35, 50, 90 (and I hope a 135mm in the future). Yes, I could carry 4 bodies... 2 RF (B&W and color films) with 21, 35 and 50 lenses and 2 SLR (B&W and color films) with 90,135,200 and 400 lenses. Sorry but my back does not permit that, Rafael - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Ridings" <daniel.ridings@muspro.uio.no> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 8:29 PM Subject: RE: [Leica] 1.25 magnifier with 135mm lens > > when I shoot with a > > longer lens, I want the view through the lens.
