Best travel lens for the leica m ev1?

For travel on the Leica M EV1, I'd start with the Leica Tri-Elmar-M 28-35-50mm f/4 ASPH. It's the closest thing the M range has to a travel zoom, covering 28mm to 50mm, which handles most of a day's shooting without changing lenses on a busy street.

For the second lens, I'd add a small fast prime for evenings and food, as the travel guide suggests. The Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH is a sensible choice. If you prefer wider, the Leica Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH works well too.

The EV1 has no stabilisation in the body, so for dim interiors like churches, keep the shutter speed up or steady the camera on something solid.
