Hard to know what to lead when I don't understand the bidding. Was 2NT conventional?

I am leading my stiff.

I'm with Mr. Ace.
There is a big difference between a good decision and a good result. Let's keep our posts about good decisions rather than "gotcha" results!

Opener did open 1 ♥ not 2 ♣ but still went to slam after partner showed a "good" 2 ♥ raise- but still a 2 ♥ raise. So he should hold a very strong two suiter.
I guess that leading a diamond or a heart will nearly never win. A club will win if we can built a club trick before all club tricks are gone on the long spades.
A spade can win if we have a ruff at trick two.
With one spade and two hearts, I would go for the spade lead, here, I try a club.

2NT is a balanced invite, and since you have played with declarer you suspect he at least doesnt have singletons

Thanks for clarification Gonzalo.
Okay, I join the club of the spade leaders then, a ♣ a close second, nothing else looks good to me.

or something very similar, only a spade defeats the 29 HCP slam and your queens are useless, lost 500 euros for leading a trump.
