Advertisement Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 Hi Kiwimac, Take a look here I am stranded on an island.......... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Marc B-C Posted February 25, 2023 Share #22 Â Posted February 25, 2023 Out of interest is the Island called Noman? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgenper Posted February 25, 2023 Share #23  Posted February 25, 2023 Never mind the lens; the BIG question is, which BAG.... 🤪 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Barnack Posted February 25, 2023 Share #24  Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) If I am ever stranded on an island, I hope it will be Long Island. Then I can go over to B&H and get whichever lens and bag I need. Except for the 35 Summicron APO, of course. 🤕 Edited February 25, 2023 by Herr Barnack 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujk Posted February 25, 2023 Share #25  Posted February 25, 2023 21 hours ago, FrozenInTime said: As your state in present tense that you are stranded on an island, that implies your lens choice has already been made and fixed. Is this then a probability or an uncertainty question - maybe you have not yet looked in your bag ; perhaps you forgot the camera as well, making the lens question irrelevant. The other flaw is that 35nn is dimensionally incorrect, so logically cannot exist ; let’s hope there is a 50mm lens and camera in your bag 🙂 I'm starting to think that the island must be large enough to have a Leica store or at least a Leica retailer, as @Herr Barnack suggests. I guess there is a fair number of these in the world (Britain, Ireland, Honshu, Hong Kong, Iceland, Sjealland, Long Island, Australia(?)...). I don't know why OP is stranded on one of these with money enough to buy one lens only, but I would still recommend the 35mm, or possibly the 50mm. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been to either Long Island or Manhattan - but from the looks of Google's map, Manhattan would be readily accessible from Long Island via the Shoeleather Transit Authority... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
