The body is no doubt an LX. If you limit the lens to only one, I'll wonder if I should take 24/2.8A or 35-105/3.5A. If it's two, I'll take 24/2.8A and 50/1.4A. If it's three, I'll add 135/3.5M. Sincerely, Take Ueda, Osaka, Japan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Shel, My choice would be a Canon T90. The reason is that its power source are the commonly available AA batteries. I would take along a Tamron 35-90 zoom with the Canon adapter. Also, the adapter that allows the use of my SMC Takumars on it. I would bring a 150mm SMC Takumar as my tele lens.

Rangefinder, but not obliged to be such. Bigger than 35mm. Interchangable lenses. Decent feature set. Too hard to choose. Had to narrow it to three options: (a) Pentax 67II with 55/4, 90/2.8, 300/4 (b) Mamiya 7II with 50/4.5, 80/4, 150/4.5 (c) Linhof with 120 roll back, 90mm, 180mm, 310mm
