Subject: [Leica] Vacation Camera Lenses: What did NOT work?

I've learned that when I am on vacation, I am on vacation. To carry
around more than I usually would, is just a plain hassle.

On my last vacation I took an M3 35/50/90 (Elmar 90, I hardly ever use
one, and the Elmar is small enough to tag along anyway).

I used everything and bought a IIIg that I came home with.

Airlines' policy keeps me sober when it comes to what I'm going to
carry with me.

Oh yeah, a Nikon D80 with a 35 and a 50. Used it too.
