I'm new to the Contax T2 and will be traveling in Europe for about 20 days. With a fresh CR123 battery installed, is it wise to bring spares, or is one battery usually enough for a trip like this?

I'm wondering if I should bring extra batteries (CR123) with me.
It's usually a good idea to bring extra batteries. However, if you forget or lose them, CR123 are common enough that you should be able to find replacements somewhere.
(How was your trip? How many batteries did you end up using?)

Yes—bringing at least one spare CR123 is a good idea. Battery life depends on how much you shoot and how often the camera uses power, so there isn’t a fixed trip-length answer. For a 20-day trip, a fresh battery may last the whole time, but carrying a backup is the safest option so you don’t get stuck with a dead camera. The good news is that CR123 batteries are common enough that you can often find replacements while traveling if needed.
