In a month I will be going to Yellowstone, Grand Teaton, and Glacier, with the S2. I currently have the 35, 70, 120, and 180.
My questions:
1) Is the 35 (28 @ 35mm equivalent) wide enough?
2) If not, can one get around by stitching?
3) If not, what is the best option:
a) Getting the 30 for the S2 (24 @ 35 mm equivalent? Upside: Great lens (if you can find it). Downside: close to the 35, expensive, the S2 24 (if it ever sees the light of the day) would be a preferred choice (and there also might be the 30-90 zoom, again if it ever sees the light of day);
b) Use the M9 and the 24mm (which I have) for these shots. Upside: No costs and will take it anyway. Downside: its not the S2.
c) Get the S2 to H adapter and a H lens (which?). Upside: Can use wide angle on S2 and don't have to wait for Leica to get the lenses out (and then finding them). Downside: Adapter expensive if you don't have H lenses. I have no experience with H lenses and won't be able to test before trip.
d) Sell the S2 and get the D800. :scry: Just kidding :ROTFL::ROTFL:
Any thoughts appreciated.
:OT: My other problem is why the :cussing: do the Italians always beat the Germans :banghead::banghead: Anyway, 2104 is the next occasion and by then Leica may have even announced the 24 for the S2 :bugeyes:
