Do any of the triplets have a triplet lens design?

I’m going to Santa Fe for the first time. Still trying to nail down what camera(s) to take.

LC-A 120 and lots of kolor film!

That is definitely the number one contender at the moment.
But I won’t know for sure until I board the plane.

Santa Fe = sunshine+saturated kolors = lc-a

Huss, any specific sites (photographic or otherwise) you plan to visit on your weekend trip to San Francisco?

Just got back from Chicago. Tried to find a LCA 120 but no luck. Tried Central Camera but they didn’t know what is was until I explained.

Leaving tomorrow to shoot the SS Badger great lakes carferry. Two DSLRs for sure but I'll probably bring whatever else has film left in it.... Probably Nikon S2, Voigtlander Perkeo, Rolleiflex 2.8C. I think that is all.

Staying in the Marina, will put my shoes to use..
Honestly no idea apart from avoiding the cliches/tourist trap stuff. Or at least trying to!

I got mine on ebay. Barely used but much cheaper than the shops so worth looking there.

Nice! But man that seems to be a lot of gear to be packing.

Take your triplets to the SF Leica Store.
After that, wander over to Glass Key Photo to get a root beer.

Always wanted a CX-2 and drive. How loud is it buddy?

It's not Nikon SLR with winder loud (thing FM2n w md12), it more sounds like loud-ish clockwork.
What is funny is the thumb advance wheel spins when it is used. This caught me off as you gotta be careful to not hold onto that.
The CX-2 is surprisingly nice. Focus distance is in meters by the focus lever, but it also has focus symbols(head/head shoulders... mountains) at the top of the lens as you look down so you can set focus before you bring camera to eye. These symbols also appear in the VF.
Check out ebay - there are some truly insane people trying to sell these. One guy asking $670 - I offered him $65 explaining to him that was what there were selling for as per SOLD listings on ebay. He refused. There are a couple of Japanese sellers that are pricing them like they are Contax T3s covered in Kendall's sweat.

Says the guy taking triplet kameras on a weekend trip.
Leica no - Glass Key yes! Thanks for that tip!
Haaaay, only taking them cuz they're related. And still packs super small.

Not sure if it was part of your plan or not, but SF Pride is this weekend. The City will be busier than normal, especially around the Civic Center and Castro districts. On the other hand, that might make for more street photography opportunities if that's your jam.
