M6 + CV 35/2.5 LTM, Nikkor 35/2.8Ti ( MS Optical conversion ), Nikkor S 35/2.5 ( w/ Amedeo adapter ), and Leica 35 Summaron.

 

[ChrisPlatt]

Bessa R with 35/2.5 CV Color Skopar
Canon P with 50/1.8 Canon lens

Mostly this is because I don't like the Canon P 35mm framelines...

My Canon IIf is pretty much exclusively dedicated to my Jupiter-12, just because I can't get the lens to mount to any of my other cameras (it seems to get jammed on my Nicca/Tower).

 

[farlymac]

When I'm using an LTM rangefinder, I tend to start with one lens, and go with it. That might change when the S2 arrives.

Leica M8 / Amadeo / Brian Sweeney 1959 J3 in genuine Contax mount .

My FSU RF camera holds two 50mm FSU lenses, I'm not using them on Ms. My Canadian Leicas have two 35mm.
I'm thinking of trading M4P to Canadian 35 Cron and using it on M4-2. And getting German M for German Summarit-M 35 I have.

 

[Ken Ford]

I always wanted a pair of M6 or MP bodies, one .58 with a 35mm welded to it and a .86 with a 75mm. I've always found the .72 to be a bad compromise for both of these, but really the only option for a single body. I used to work with two or three bodies, I hate changing lenses in the thick of it.

 

[ReeRay]

M6 TTL 0.58 35mm Summilux FLE
Hexar RF.......... Ditto

 

[Bingley]

Leica IIIc + Summitar or CV Skopar 50/2.5
Canon IVSB2 + Canon 50/1.5
Bessa R2a + CV Heliar 75/2.5 and Canon 35/2.0
M2 + any 50 mm + Canon 35/2.0
Bessa T + CV 28/3.5

 

[giganova]

I missed too many shots changing lenses, so I just bought another body. So in the future I will have the camera pair with me at all times:

M4 + 21/3.4 Super Angulon
M4 + 50/2 Summicron Rigid
