Having visited Focus, the solution is straightforward - Alpa STC with IQ180 and four lenses...... Should my lottery funding not be forthcoming, I will travel with something other than the this!
Absolutely loved the STC but with just a single lens, the Schneider 43mm the pricing is about £9000 inc VAT which is over 3x price of all our air fares.
Thus I will be taking the Leica M8 which will be fine as is. I do see merit in investigating FEDEX or otherwise for the Phase 645DF, possibly not taking all 4 lenses. We've also got a little jpeg Panasonic compact which was going to get a £180 waterproof housing for beach use home and abroad.
Another option materialised using a Horseman with the P45 and I might be able to borrow or rent one of these.
