out of ALL the gear you have ever owned...

back alley said:
from all the gear that you have ever owned, rf or not, what would you choose to use, one camera and one lens. be specific.
My black chrome Leica M6 classic, 0.7x viewfinder magnifier, with 50mm Summilux-M pre-asph f/1.4 with custom-added focusing tab, with Leica black-leather half-case.

I hope you don't need serial numbers? :p
 
Leica R6 and 50 f/2 Summicron-R. Sorry it's not a rangefinder but if it was only ONE camera for absolutely everything a manual non-electronic SLR would have to be it. I don't talk about my R6 on RFF but as SLR's go it's a joy. The shutter is "like buttah".
 
M8 and Noctilux currently from what I've owned and I've owned just about every Canon digital body and L lens you can name. Now after I acquire the 35 lux asph and 28 cron my vote may change as the 50 is a bit long on the M8 to be a 1 lens solution.
 
That's it.
Together with the jug.

But it's possible, that tomorrow I'd choose something else...

the beauty of cyber voting is no one will hold you to it.

Honest? And I won't get shot for choosing digital/slr?

It'd be the D50 with 28-70/3.5-4.5, but only if I could also have my SB800.. It's the combination that's most versatile, and that I take the best pictures with..



Example: needed x-sync at 1/500.. three light sources were combined to make this picture; built-in flash at 1/16, SB-800 at 1/8 from left and the bike's own lights blazing. Shutter speed was so high that the ambient fluorescents didn't register..

my 1st and true luv a Sears TLS all black built like a tank I get it CLA every couple years replaced the seals myself I can't seem to part with it
 
If you really have to make money from the pictures: Nikon D80+18-200VR.

If really would like to enjoy what you are doing and only shoot B&W :) : M3+35/3.5 Summaron (or even better the 2.8).
 
It would have to be my M6 (original 0.72x version) with 35/1.4 pre-asph Summilux. (Can the Weston Master V and Invercone come along too?)

Mind you, seeing Max mention the Pentacon Six has me thinking seriously about the SixTL with 50 mm Flektogon...hmm
