Need your input...

Plan to visit Greece in end of jan 2016; Athens, Meteora, Santorini.
I want to bring light gear (max two small cameras in small bag).

In my cupboard:
Digital:
1.Leica M8
2.Fuji XE1

Analog:
a.Leica M4-P
b.Contax G1

I have some Potras, Ektar100, Tri-X

Please sugest me which cameras, need to bring to Greece.
Object: Streetphoto, Lanscape
Durations: 10 days

Leica M4-P with iso 100 film in it + Fuji XE1 for interiors or others situations when high iso are needed. It's a small not intrusive kit.

The best small kit I took on a trip was an M6 with a Leica 50mm f2.8 Elmar II and a Canon Powershot S100 (not the elph version).

In your case I would take the G1 for optics alone and the Fuji. Enjoy your trip.
 
Winter? :)
If me, Fuji as high ISO, good colors camera. Days are short.
And for day time, classic bw prints - Leica with Tri-X.
 
I can't pick unless you mention what lenses you have.

;)

Lenses :)

1.For Leica: CV21/4 , Cron 35/2, Cron 50/2 rigid
2.For Fuji : 18/2 , 35/1.4 .. (I have M to Fuji Adapter as well)
3.Contax G1 : 28/2 Biogon, 45/2 Planar

My first flush would be to take the following:

Leica M4-P

01) CV 21/4
02) Cron 35/2 -> (52mm on the Fuji)
03) Cron 50/2 -> (75mm on the Fuji)

Fuji X-E1 (1.5x sensor)
and if you are okay with the M to Fuji adapter just the one Fuji lens

04) Fuji 18/2 -> 27mm

But a lot depends on how you get on with the different bits...

Should be a great trip...

I would take the M8 without any doubt. I have a very similar lens setup myself and have been very happy on many similar trips.

I would very likely take a second camera that would be an M mount film body, an interchangeable lens Sony (also for video), or the Sony RX1R depending on what I want to do. Looking at your options, the second camera could be either the M4-P or the Fuji. Probably the film body, as the Fuji is not capable enough for video.
