I'm planning to spend 3 months or so travelling around Indochina and Thailand later this year and am thinking about what photo gear to take. I'm not looking to replicate the sort of photos one sees in tourist brochures (as I have attempted on previous trips in the past) so thought I'd leave the dSLR at home and take Leicas instead. I'm planning on mainly shooting B&W but will take some Superia as I'm sure the colours out there will be worth capturing.
I have an M7 and M3 and plan to take my 35 & 75 summicron's for the M7 and my CZ Sonnar 50/1.5 for the M3.
My concern is about the M3: it's recently been CLA'd by Leica MK but is an old camera (formerly owned by a professional so well used). I'm very tempted by an MP as a replacement. I'm not happy taking the M7 on its own due to past experiences where I've inadvertantly found myself leaving it on and running down the batterie, so will need a second body.
Should I rely on the M3 or go for the MP, considering the demands of the trip?
Thoughts valued.
Thanks
