william_m._carson Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 No hesitation: 35mm - Summilux ASPH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografz Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Can I also keep a camera ? Seriously , ( and one lens WOULD BE serious depravation): Practical ME says a mid-range, fast zoom (28-70/2.8 AFS Nikkor?). But the practical me never wins an argument with my 3 or 4 other compulsive personalities. Most of whom hate zooms, so they sit in the bag unused. This warrants heavy debate, can WE get back to you on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike dixon Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Probably the 50 Summilux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergus_hammond Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Easy: 35 f/1.4 for the Lecia. 17-35 f/2.8 for the Nikon. Ok, I cheated: that's two lenses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul hart Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Certainly the 50mm Summilux. Combines the best of all worlds: nearly as fast as the huge Noctilux; virtually as sharp as the 'cron; little larger than the Elmar when the Elmar is extended. Marvellous.

karl_georg_wolf Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Do not have one (so far) but for travel it could be the TRI-ELMAR together with a LEICA of course. <p> And: at least one film for every day on the road. <p> Good shooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
