I will insert some photos gradually as I go through the nine rolls of film that I completed in Germany a week ago. I had with me a Leica M6 with three lenses (CV 25mm/4, Canon 50mm/1.2, Elmar 90mm/4) for B&W and the Contax T2 for color film.
This is my old friend Josef. We met up in Frankfurt, from where he took us to Mittelsbach and then Heidelsberg for a day trip. I used the Canon 50mm/1.2 in this nice brewery in Mittelsbach,
This is my friend Kuiyuan, inspecting the menu. Again, I used the Canon.
This photo was taken outside the brewery with the CV.

This is a photo taken in Marburg where we met up with the RFF member Kent who took us on a day tour ofMarburg. Kent invited us to some great Capucino at his favorit Cafe'. Here is Kent:

Marburg has an old castle (Schloss) at the top of a hill, and Kent somehow coaxed us into walking up to it. There was also a well-known old church in Marburg. Here are a few photos:
This is Kent trying to attach the "tripod" to the door for a timed photo of us in the cafe'.
This is outside a church in Marburg.
This is near the top of a hill where the castle was located.

Thanks, Raid, for posting these shots. Looking forward to seeing more of them. I like Josef's expression in that last one. Reminds me of Homer Simpson thinking, "mmmmmmm, beer......"

Randy: Thank you. I will post a few more. Josef is newly married, and he was looking at his wife.
This is a photo I took while waiting for the train (tram) close to the Rathaus in Bielefeld.

This photo was taken with the cv 25mm/4. All B&W photos are either Kodak or Ilford.

So Raid, if you had to redo this trip to Germany, would you take the same gear, or would you modify your choice?

This one was most likely taken in Bielefeld before we took the streetcar.

Frank: My selection turned out ot be near perfect. The wide angle perspective of the CV 25mm/4 lens was needed and I wouldhave needed the extra coverage had I taken instead the 28mm lens [which was my initial top choice]. The Canon 50/1.2 was also great for the indoor photos. The Elmar 90/4was good to have along for occasional close-ups. It is small and light and does not add much to the total weight. A tele with large aperture would be too heavy, I thought about this option but decided otherwise.
... no regrets. Just memories.

This was a "funny" sign in a window of a restaurant. It said something to the effect that while the partner was in jail, he/she was on drugs.

Chris,
Thanks. I used the Kodak UC400 color and Ilford XP2 plus Kodak c_41 film. I may have had a couple of Reala rolls too.

This place was close where Kent works. He arranged it so that we could park there (in Marburg).

This is a peek where Kent made us walk up to.
