Hi,

I'm bringing my Mamiya 7-2 camera and I'm trying to lighten my load with
only 3 lenses. I own the following, 43mm, 50mm, 65mm, 80mm and the 150mm.
For those of you who have been to Paris, which lenses would you suggest
and why?


I've _not_ _yet_ been to Paris, France, and while still the state of
emergency remains declared I'm /really/ not interested into that.

Just as a general rule: If I had to limit the number of lenses, I would
select the widest variation in lenses. I would pick the widest, the
longest, and something in between.


Yeah, I also suggest
* one _standard_ _lens_, so 65mm for your 120 camera,
* the longest length available you're capable of freely holding still
(or a number lower than that), so 150mm in your case
* and a short length, but not a fish-eye. So 43mm seems about right.

If you have multiple versions of a focal length, I'd pick the heaviest
anyway, since they're usually brighter, and I don't wanna be stuck in some
dark situation. However, given your choice of films, that doesn't seem
to be one of your concerns.

Does anyone know of a photo dealer who still sells film near the Effel
tower? I'm looking to buy 120Xvelvia, 120XProvia and 120Delta100.


No, I don't. And honestly, I recommend not to buy films at a local
retailers anymore. The commodity turnover is too low, that I'd expect
some reasonable quality. BYOF (bring your own film) instead.
