I'm trying to decide which one to take to Iran.  The only way for me to do
that is to use them and compare the photos and the handling of the camera.
I had heard that the files were better from the MM but the handling is
better with the M246.  That's what I'm "testing".  So far, the higher ISO
performance of the M246 is making me lean toward it.  It's very dark in the
souks.  Should I take the heavy Noctilux or just the Summilux?  That is the
kind of thing I am testing.
