One M Body/One Lens/One Film

Recommended Posts

As the title says - please list only one of each.

 

If this has been done before then perhaps it can be considered an updated

version of the post.

 

I tend to ramble on & on so it would be nice if people could simply list the

three items only without adding a lot of other options etc.

 

Imagine you are leaving on an extended trip and you can only take one M body,

one lens & one type of film.

 

Or - that this is the last combination you can own or buy & boil it down the the

bare essentials.

 

Regards

From 1968 to 1977, I carried an M4 with a 50 Summicron plus either Kodachrome 25 and 64, or later, Fuji 100. Couldn't stick with one film for color. However, changed light meters three times in that interval < grin >.

 

Now, it would be an M7, our 50 Summilux ASPH, and Astia 100.

M7 body, 35mm Summicron (version 4) and Kodak BW400CN.

 

The M7 because it has aperture priority AE, the Summicron because it has the best possible combination of sharpness and bokeh and 35mm is a good focal length for travel photography, and Kodak BW400CN for its good resolution, moderate grain and ease of developing and printing at any minilab across the world.

 

And also because that's what I shoot with, most of the time! ;-)

M3, 50mm Summicron Dual Range, 400 B&W negative film. I switch around between

Tri-X, HP5, Adox, Lucky, and others. Sometimes I even shoot XP2, when I need/want

fast (lazy)

processing. I can't resist trying new films and new developers; but my camera, lens

and film speed stay the same.
