roberto_watson_garc_a Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 I tomorrow I would go to a trip with no return, and I needed to take one camera and one lens, I wouldn,t go!; but if a must, I love my M4P-35/2 preasph combo, but I may try the M6 classic-35/1.4 asph., before the launch they will tell me there is not room for film.

doug herr Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 That's easy- Leicaflex SL, 400mm f/6.8 Telyt. See why at http://www.wildlightphoto.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro_lastra Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 Leica M6 and the latest 50 Summicron. This combo is as competent as any 35mm shooter out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff voorhees Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 M6 and current 50 Summicron (with added focus tab...) I settled on the 50mm a long time ago, it's the only focal length I think in anymore. It's liberating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary_yeowell Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 My 1995 M6 and a latest 50 Summicron,(narrowly outing my 35f2 Asph). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_bryant Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 Ah, more equipment blather. Can't resist. <p> "newer" M3, (serial number over 1,000,000) and the 50mm f/1.4 Summilux with the reversable hood. Hands on! <p> The Noctilux, while being nothing short of amazing optically, (It's as good as the Summilux, in the non rigorous test I've done) is just too big. <p> I can drop the Summilux into one pocket, the M3 in another, and hardly be bothered by the camera, while carrying it around. The Noctilux would rip out my pockets. <p> For those of you who want still more photographic ramblings, check out my <A HREF="http://208.218.135.74/top/top.html>web site</A>.

iván Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 Popular subject, isn't it? I hadn't thought about it before so this answer is somewhat precarious: I think I'd keep my FM2-n and 35-70mm f2.8 in order to get sure that I have the widest possible range of photo needs covered by existing pieces of my photo gear. . . and long my M3s for a lifetime. <p> - Iván Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray_moth Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 R8 and 60mm macro. But you'd have to be fully armed to part me from my 90mm Elmarit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
su_yang Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 I just bought a M6-TTL (.85) and Summicron 35mm f2 ASPH based on suggestions from various sources. Quite satisfied with the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kl_prager1 Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 M6TTL .72 (black) w/ 35mm Summicron ASPH is easily my first choice! The current 50mm Summicron is easily a very close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_chefurka2 Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 M6 .58, with the 3E (I know, 3 focal lengths in one lens is cheating) or the 35/1.4 ASPH. Oh, and the Motor-M. Nice, nice, nice package! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted July 14, 2001 Share Posted July 14, 2001 No camera manufacturers like the philosophy of one body one lens, whois going to buy all the fisheye, super wide, super tele, super zoom , mirror lens ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tse_sung_wu7 Posted July 16, 2001 Author Share Posted July 16, 2001 In the August 2000 issue of Shutterbug (I think it was August), there was a list of 'desert island' cameras- the one camera one might choose. Does anyone have this issue still, and would they be willing to post the list here? I can't seem to find it at my local library and my subscription to S'bug long ago lapsed. <p> Thanks!

MTC Photography Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 I haven't read the desert island camera.<p> But I do have a few camera ready for dessert island : Zeiss Ikon Contaflex super B automatic SLR reflex camera with selenium meter and Minox B camera with selenium meter.

albert_smith Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 TSW, <p> I have the issue of Shutterbug (it was August 2000, Good memory!), and the question is specifically, "What lens (no camera)would you carry if you could carry only one?" Not too many Leica people in the survey, mostly SLR and zoom people. The article might have been more useful if they mentioned a biography on these mostly unknown photographers. <p> Steve Sint: 24-120mm Nikon <p> Tony Sweet: 35-70mm (no brand) <p> Robert Rathe: 105mm Nikon <p> Jon Adams: 20mm (no brand) <p> David Akiba: 80mm Hassy (med format) <p> Gary Gladstone: 28-200mm (no brand) <p> Lou Jones: 20-35mm (no brand) <p> Mark Wayne: 24-85mm (no brand) <p> Rick Sammon: 15mm UW Nikon for Nikonos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roberto_watson_garc_a Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 reading this one lens lifesalver, made me realise how limited is a slr with only one lens, with my leica I´ve never felt I needed any other lens no mather wich one I was carring; may be too much coffe, and too little single malt.
