I have here two of my current favorite lenses and cameras for daily use. One is a mint Leica M3 with an equally mint Summicron 50/2 (first version rigid). The other is a Zeiss 5cm/2 in LTM mounted on a Bessa T with Leitz finder. Maybe you can also post your two beauties here. :)
 
The M3 is used less often than the Bessa T, and I always use with its leather case, so maybe calling it "daily use" is incorrect. I use both often.

Brian: So you like the Zeiss/Bessa T combination? I don't know if the pic shows it, but the lens is very clean as if it is newly made.

I wish I were handy as you; I'm looking at *two* sorry-looking LTM lenses (for parts) that, if I had the skills (and tools), I'd convert either a Contax mount or Voigtlaender (Prominent) mount lens to LTM.

It's ok; we'll let Biogons be Biogons. :D

LOL That's too good.

(Raid, You started with a Zeiss and a Leitz, hence my lame attempt at humor.)
 
my biogon is my passion
a real cutie of a zeiss-opton
sexier than a nokton
slimmer than a sonnar
cooler than a tessar
god knows I love only a biogon
after the cutest topogon
 
so much talkin about Biogon
gettin one is what I'm thinkin on

beauty #1, a favorite low light combo (Joe warning: contains Canon lens misuse)

Nick: Better some humor than none. I guess, Biogons are not in LTM but in Contax mount.
 
The new 21, 25, 28 and 35mm Biogons are all available in Leica M mount. I have the 28.
 
My two!

How much does your Bessa T 101 cost, if I may ask? It looks cool. I also heard many good things about the Heliar lens.
