Feli,
A 15 is only around $300 US, besides, I bet a fellow LUGGER in your part of
the world would loan you one. :)

OK, then I would carry the widest lens you own, then the 35 ASPH and the 50
DR for when a Leica glow is appropriate.  Your main lens will be the 35 and
the DR will only come out when you want to do portraits, or turn back the
clock just a wee bit.
