I am really going to try this.
For 2 reasons:
1. The absolute mysticism and intimacy of it. and
2. I am short on money
So here it is:
M6 and a CV 35/1.7
Why this choice?
The M6 is... well an M6. Small, solid and direct to the point.
The CV 35/17 is also small (takes 39mm filters) has a creamy signature and relatively cheap. Started on June 1st.

would you consider one type/brand of film too to keep the consistency?

I have decided on Fuji Press Color 800 ISO because it is so versatile. If it gets too grainy then I will PP it with Noise Ninja. Plus I keep an ND 2 filter to tone it done in bright light. And I will confess I have been known to PP the color to B/W then use DXo Film Pack to give it the "look,"
See what I mean by the "look"!!!

what does being 'short on money' have to do with it?

Nice combo Akiva, & a smart man too because you never mentioned how long you were planning on doing this!

As long as I can keep GAS away and ignore all my other fine equipment. There is a certain satisfaction in being intimate with one body, one lens so I really want to give it a go.Nice combo Akiva, & a smart man too because you never mentioned how long you were planning on doing this!

I think that if I could ever go with one film setup for that long, it would have to be tiny, so probably a Pen EE2, or the Hexar AF if I could live with 1 year of distorted lines.
Has anyone ever thought about going a year without photoshop or cropping? How about a month?

What's photoshop and what's cropping?
I do know photoshop keeps cropping up on threads so thought it was some sort of fungus attack chaps had.

i'd go M8 and lux 50 ... also, a lux 35 would make sense, but i have never used that focal length.

That's the key thing against GAS, IMO. Don't make the mistake of selling everything else.

My first Leica M was an M2 (I still have it; t's in my avatar) and 35mm Summaron. It kept me happy for a long while. Then I added a 90mm Elmarit. Still have that, too! The two-lens outfit was all I had for maybe 10 years. Then things started to accumulate . . .

I did it once for three months, with an evil SLR I must admit (FM2n). It did me good. I don't carry much equipment anymore as I know now I can do with less.
