[Leica] Planning a trip (with Leicas)

[images at comporium.net (Tina Manley)]

I would take the M8 and M9.  Trying to combine film and digital on a long
trip is just not practical.  Decide on one or the other, but digital makes
much more sense these days.  Trying to get film through various x-ray
machines and carrying rolls of film instead of tiny memory cards just
doesn't make sense.  As much as I love film, I would never take it on a long
trip today.
