astral Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 <p>The only camera and lens I can afford <em>now</em> is exactly what I <em>could not really afford</em> many years ago(!) - an M2 and a late 35mm f2.8 Summaron. In reality, it is all that I '<em>need'</em>.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alastair_anderson Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 <p>If digital were allowed with modern cropping capability I'd pick a wider lens; as it's specifically excluded I'd say M3 with Apo summicron 50.<br> The single lens constraint is unreasonable. If limited to one lens then a camera with a fixed lens is better: Hasselblad Superwide perhaps.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhooru Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 <p>M7 35 lux asph- Hey, come on guys, you must take photos with those beautiful cameras. Why don't you post on the pic of the week thread. Show what you can do with those great cameras!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumpton Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 <p>Agree with Barry. While I like others do have a favorite combo and light metering device, the important thing is how we use them, where, and why. Showing photos is one way. The other is discussing how and why we use certain pieces of equipment in the process of image-making, which usually only appears outside of the Leica and rangefinder forum.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendell_kelly Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 <p>Several:<br> M6 with a 50mm/f2 Hexanon for travel.<br> M3 (preferably DS) with a ZM Planar 50mm/f2 for going unwired.<br> A IIIf with a Canon 50mm/f1.8 or a Nikkor 50mm/f2 for serious work, unwired.

gadge Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 <p>Maybe I am the only one reading this thread and agreeing with almost every answer!<br> Going, "oh yes that's the one". "or maybe that one". "Oh no...that is the one". "On the other hand that combo DOES sound good"<br> GAS...You gotta love it. No?<br> I use a M6-TTL and normally a Minolta 40mm.<br> It's a good combo but I think that I would enjoy using AV leaving me free to concentrate on composition and focussing. Framing thoughts on the 40mm sometimes get in my way too.<br> So in an ideal world, I would love to try a M7 with a Summicron 35mm type 3 (no plastic like type IV and not so contrasty as an Asph) or maybe a Zeiss 35mm F2 (love the sample pics that I have seen and always liked the Zeiss lenses that I have used previously. <br> Gadge</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rahul_glad Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'd buy the Leica M-A with a 50mm lens. But I have an M2 right now and it serves me well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 <p>Real easy !<br> In 1967 i received my M3 new, and 50mm Collapsible Summicron.<br> Single Film is Kentmere 400 because it dries flat, needed for scanner.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
