Let's see...I have an M3,M2, and an M6, A Contaflex, Crown Graphic, Fed 5, Olympus E-510, Minolta SRT, and Rolleiflex Automat X.
The Fed is a paperweight. It works fine but just feels cheap. The Minolta only has one lens, a 135mm. The Crown Graphic I haven't used since college, The Rollei probably gets about a roll or two a year when i'm in the mood the shoot square.
The M3 was my go to camera in college, used mostly with a Canon 50/1.8 and eventually a VC 28/1.9. After feeling that 28mm was to wide for my uses I sold it, bought an M2 and a 35/2 Biogon. I loved it and still use it on a regular basis. Last fall when I had what you could call a disposable income and after wanting a Summilux for ages I bit the bullet on a pre-asph and love it, Then I got the idea I needed a body for the lens and along came the M6.
So as it stands the M2 and the M6 get the most use. I use the M2 with Tri-X rated at 200, and the M6 with Tri-X rated at 800-1600. Seems to be working out quite well so far.
