Lens Selection Advice for Spain Trip: Rural & Urban Exploration

I have done this twice: soliciting an opinion from here what one body one lens to bring to Europe, once to Spain and once to Croatia.

I have two M digital bodies, 5 Leica lenses and 2 non-leics lenses.

What did I get? I was recommended to buy a couple of more new lenses. One guy even suggested me to buy a Hasselblad.

I gave up since then, and never asked for opinions like that.

Lesson learned: never ever ask for consensus here.

I’ve decided to bring everything since I checked and my insurance will cover it in Spain.

now what bag should I get to carry up to two M bodies and three lenses?

Whether you realize it, or not, the bag question will result in considerable good-humored ribbing, here at LUF. 😉

For a seriously deep dive, there are bag discussions in the relevant camera body sections. Here are a couple, in just the M10 section:

I believe that there is another discussion in the M11 section. You may have to scroll through several pages.

Personally, I would not walk about, in any touristy area, in any country/nation, with too many valuables contained within one bag. To be clear, I am not “picking on” Spain. I said “any country/nation.”
