I have been thinking (to uch) about what lenses to take on my trip next week.
I finally descided on: 24/2 35/2.8 50/1.4 100/2.8 And thinking about it now, if i got a 43/1.9 then i could probaly suplement it for both the 35 and the 50. The original plan was to take MZ-S and LX, now i'm think i might be able to get away with the just MZ-S and just mid role change film, as i doubt i'll carry to bodies from the car at the same time. My girlfriend pointed out that i spent more time packing camera gear than clothes :) Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Johnston" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 3:23 PM Subject: Re: How many lenses do you WANT to own? > > At one time my base kit was an MX w the 35/2 and the 85/2.
