Cameras. I has it.
Heh. I meant to write Minox IIIs or B.
But here you have it, a B (in its case to preserve the selenium meter), two IIIs’s, a III, and a II:

for absolute small size and feathery lightness I use the fuji x100v...I think it's a great camera and easy to use...
for some planned shooting my newest kit is two fuji xpro3 bodies with fuji 18/1.4 and 50/1.0 and the new 27/2.8...the tiny 27 gives me something small and normal and keeps the bag weight bearable for me.

That might be the coolest camera accessory I've ever seen. Almost makes want to pick up a Q to try it out.

The Qs are lots of fun and capable little cameras.
The first model had the nicest body (magnesium) and probably the most options, the last two in the series had a slightly larger sensor and a little bit higher image quality. They all has IBIS and most of the native lenses have leaf shutters. The body also has an electronic shutter so they can be adapted to almost any lens. C mount lenses work well with them. That can give lots of interesting combos such as a Fuji 2.7mm fisheye that can be salvaged from old security cameras.
Pentax made an adapter for K mount lenses that also had a leaf shutter in the adapter.
It has all the typical Pentax shooting modes and their film simulation stuff too. The front dial can be configured to swap between different user presets which can be fun to swap between different modes such as reversal film (love the colors on that one) and things like monochrome or bold monochrome. It even has a great feature that you can shoot in JPEG and assign a button to 'raw.' If you take a shot in JPEG only and then press that button (after the shot) it will save the raw file for the last image taken.

Just received this lens recently, but I know it's going to make for a great "travel super light and simple" camera setup:
Leica CL + MS Optics Aporia 24mm f/2
The 24mm focal length nets an equivalent 35mm FoV on this body, and the lens's rendering qualities are delightful. f/5.6-f/8 nets the most even imaging although it's usable through out the aperture range. Lots of character, teensy and weightless.

Thanks Shawn. Very cool—I do not know much about the Q series (other than that Pentax made them so they must be good). That feature to save the last JPEG shot as a RAW file is brilliant!

A couple years ago, my wife and I with her sibs all went to Ireland together. Hired a driver and a van and went all over the country. All I took was a Fuji Xpro-1 and 18/f2. Very freeing doing the one camera/one lens thing. Besides, if I had pulled out a tripod, camera and bag of lenses, I would have been walking ;-)

Having reached the age of 80, still with all my negatives/slides dating back to 1950, I can say that all my best work - including a successful RPS Licentiatship submission - has been done with a 50mm lens on a 135 camera and on 120 film with a Rollecord Vb.

When I travel light it's my Rolleiflex 2.8C Planar. When I travel really light it's my Rolleiflex 44. When I travel extremely light it's my Minolta 16 MG 16mm camera. When I travel super-extremely light I take no camera and have my wife take pictures with her Samsung 10s cell phone 🙂.

Now that the Ricoh GRIIIx has been introduced, it is the perfect traveling light camera for me. Small enough to not be noticed in my pocket, but big enough to give great results. Now, if they can use figure out how to make more during these times of parts shortages in electronics.
