I used a 90 and never took it off my IIIF! An f4 Elmar. A few times a 135mm 
might have been nice to frame the castles on the hills a tad tighter. But 
the 90 gets the castles and the towns in turn. I'd bring a 50. But wides 
would not be for me again if I ever went back.
It's mainly all about the castles on the hills. The vineyards are a nice 
green but no form to shoot that I could see.
It rained the whole time I was shooting but my LTM system did not car. Leica 
thread mount.
Next time I'd shoot with more state of the art stuff.

    My wife and I are going to take a Rhine river cruise, which is something
    we've never done.
    
    Does anyone have any photographic experience with such, and specifically,
    what lenses (Leica M primes) would be most useful on a river cruise boat
    (if any).
    
    Thanks for any suggestions.
