Sadly, Anctarctica has been left out, but I definitely recommend 28mm for the local visit. Welcome, dear visitor!

Don't need to search too hard to know Leicas' been used practically in all continents and many challenging photographic assignments throughout history.

IkarusJohn Posted July 9, 2022 Share #32 Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Only use a Noctilux in dark countries (Northern Hemisphere in Winter) Portraits in Australia and NZ only use the 75 Summilux wide open - everyone’s skin is wrecked by the harsh sun Europe, only the latest APO lenses, as everyone’s skin is so beautiful. UK (no longer in Europe, remember), wide-angle soft focus as you don’t want to get too close Only use long lenses in Africa, Antarctica and the Arctic (with a good pair of running shoes) Edited July 9, 2022 by IkarusJohn 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Vonn Posted July 10, 2022 Share #38 Posted July 10, 2022 That comment was potentially more divisive than those three words “King of Bokeh”. I was a bit concerned that by this time we’d have spreadsheets listing all of the world’s countries shaded and in green and red indicating what countries are worthy of taking your prize from your dead hands gear to and which are not. Thankfully it looks like we managed to swerve that scenario. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily I don't have smartphone (people ask me since some years 'how one can live without smartphone'), so I'd take my M everywhere *, without fear, as I do this for so many decades. * of course, choosing with care what to use concerning lenses for each country 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
