grant_l Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 If you could only have just ONE, and I mean ONE, camera, lens andfilm, what would you choose..... <p> I would pick a leica m6, 35mm summilux, and tri-x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nesrani Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Until recently I would have said the 35/1.4 asph, but now I would definitely say the M6, 24/2.8 and E200. I was recently photographing an IDF bulldozer building an earth roadblock and that combo + the rapidwinder enabled me to get off a roll of film in a variety of angles and positions with different civilians in the foreground in the time it took a soldier to walk up and tap me on the shoulder. The 24 has become my most used lens, absolutely fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen Herbert Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 The 24 has become my most used lens <p> 24mm bit restrictive as a one lense maybe in your field it is true but for most users i would doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_. Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 M6, noctilux and superia 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_hoffman Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 I guess I'd pick my Leica M6 Classic .72, with a pre-ASPH 'lux 35 f/1.4 and Provia F. <p> I love the 50 'lux too though! <p> I'm not a pro though, and I like the soft wide open look of the older lens styles. So don't go by what I like! <p> www.stevehoffman.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badris Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 My trusty Leica M2, 8-element 35 Summicron, and Ilford HP5+ film. my former favorite one-lens/body setup used to be the same body with a 50 summicron, but not any more, at least until I have another mood swing...

glenn_travis5 Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 When it comes to film I have to cheat, though I feel with good reason. I always use the cheapest film I can find, and more importantly for me, I shoot both color and b&w. But as far as camera & lens goes, THIS IS IT (for real)! Leitz M6, Elmar-M 50mm 1:2.8, B+W KR1.5 MRC, Fuji Sensia II 200-24 ($.99), Polaroid SprintScan 4000: <IMG SRC="http://www.photo.net/photodb/image-display? photo_id=766043&size=lg" WIDTH="426" HEIGHT="650"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Tardio Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Probably my Nikon N90s, 20-35/2.8 zoom and Provia 100. If I had to pick only one focal length it would be 35mm...almost any brand. <p> Kelly, thanks for the memory of the Polaroid Swinger. One of my first camers...I still have the little tube of fixer that you were supposed to swipe over the picture after the camera spit it out.

roger_michel Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 for cherishing, cuddling, AND using, a brassy black paint m4, cron asph 35mm and pan f. BUT PLEASE GUYS, for absolute reliability, never fail you in a pinch, i can-only-have-one-in-my-bag-so-it-better- work, the answer has to be nikon f/f2, nikkor 35mm f1.4, tri-x. the most reliable camera/s ever built. ever see one at a show/flea/camera store that didn't function no matter how bunged up cosmetically??

budc Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 The same outfit I've had since 1966. Leica M3, Rigid Summicron and Kodachrome 25. I've had six high end SLR's, dozens of lenses and tried all types of film in this time frame but I've never found anything of equal quality.

james_.1 Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 I'll sound like a broken record: M6 TTL .58, 35 lux, Provia 100, and my SF-20 when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art_karr Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 I would have to agree with roger. The Nikon F2 is the most reliable, mechanical camera that I have seen. The advantage to the M's is not reliability; it is that they can be repaired when they stop; which they do on a regular basis. <p> Of course, if I had to choose one camera, it wouldn't be 35 mm. Therefore, that part of my thoughts is out of place here. ;<) <p> Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy_chung Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 This will depend on the mood I am in. M6 classic with 35mm/1.4 and NPH would be the go at the moment. However, I hope that the 50mm/1.4 is not too far away in three months time!! <p> Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank_horn Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 You shouldn't limit it to one film; rather, one ISO. I've had these restrictions more often than not. The one ISO would be 400. Most recent camera: M4-P Lens: 50 Elmarit-M>>>>>> I've had great fun with a Rollei 35S (40mm Sonnar) , In the 1970s it was a Kodak Signet 35 (44mm Ektar) (Converted to M-sync)>>>>> Rollei 3.5E 75mm Xenotar. Several Kodak Retinas. If money were no object, for one camera, probably the M7 0.72, Titanium, 50mm Summilux, SF-20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
