A French female war photographer (don't recall her name at the moment but you will for sure, Roger) covered the Vietnam war using a Nikon S3.

Robert Capa covered early Vietnam with a Nikon (the camera he was carrying survived his death).

Sanford Roth liked to loan his Nikon SP to Romy Schneider, which made Luchino Visconti quite pensive about this :

It takes me 20-30 seconds to change film in my M bodies. Slow or fast? I don't know, but it's quick enough for me.

That was Catherine Leroy (thanks Google) who died in 2006 after having been the first woman to win the Robert Capa Gold Award, and can be seen here wearing a Leica M and a Nikon S3 with a W-Nikkor-C 35/1.8 on her belly parachute during the Vietnam war :

From photographs & books of the era, I've seen many 2 RFs (usually Leica, sometimes Nikon though, wide & standard) & + F (long) combos. Larry Burrows being an exemplar.
Horst Faas used 2 Leica Ms +, horror of horrors, a Zeiss Ikon Contarex Professional or Super.
In the later stages of the war, a mix of 2 Fs (sometimes F2 or cheaper/disposable Nikkormat) + 1 Leica (wide) became more common.

Here you go, Will:
1) Classic Nikkors 35/3.5, 35/2.5 and 35/1.8
2) "Millenium" 35/1.8
3) Voigtlander SC 35/2.5 Skopar
There are several classic contax mount 35s (Biogon, Herar, Orthometar, etc.) that you can mount too, if you are OK with some focus inaccuracy.
Then again, the 35/1.8 is all you ever need

Off the top of my head: Nikon 35/3.5, 35/2.5, & 35/1.8. Tanack 35/2.8 [Edit, also Soligor & Komura, though it's not clear if they were for both Nikon & Contax]. CV 35/2.5. Zeiss 35/2.8, 35/3.5, & 35/4.5 (for Contax, but work fine on the Nikon).

There is the Cosina/Voigtlander 35/2.5 SC (fits both Nikon and Contax mount). Also, the FSU Jupiter 12 35/2.8 should fit, and the CZ 35/2.8 Biogon of which the Jupiter is a copy. These two were made for Contax mount, but depth of field will cover the incompatibility.

The redesigned Nikkor 35mm 2.5 is a collector item

Inferior to Leica M's, I think the SP, S3 and S4 are just as good as a Leica M. I used
Leica for years and after my last M4 shutter died I got a S3 and I think is just as good
and cutting your finger on the focusing wheel never happens. Maybe some guys have
baby fingers.

I was looking for an excuse to scan this. Saw it in the newspaper couple weeks ago -- The Monkees arrive in Tokyo in 1968. The folks kneeling up front have Leica's but just about everyone else has either an F or an SP.
Yes. The guys kneeling are taking a photo of the scene everyone else is making a head and shoulders shot of Davy Jones...

... likes film again.
.... and the Leica shutter cloth survived without holes ?
