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.

I would suggest the same. ^^^

I'd go for the g1. Small and convenient...

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.

I can't pick unless you mention what lenses you have.

Winter? 🙂
If me, Fuji as high ISO, good colors camera. Days are short.
And for day time, classic bw prints - Leica with Tri-X.

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.

Now the lenses : for the M4-P 21/4+50/2 and for the Xe1 only the 35/1,4
Keep it simple.
