Mine is the boringly-dependable combination of my M3 + 50mm Summicron:

A good (and fast) normal lens on almost any camera usually does very well by me, and proves to be what I use the most.

Tough question. I apparently have too many cameras and lenses. If pressed, I'd say my Nikon N80 with 24-85mm 2.8-4.0 Nikkor. It's my go-to combo.

 

[Travis L.]

Lately it's been an M3 with 21 f4 SA attached.
I've learned to use this almost as a "normal" kit.

I took many photos with its predecessor the Yashica TL Super and f/1.7 Yashinon. What a great lens. The evolved to the Fujinon ST901 with 50mm f/1.4. It is still a favorite, but I am using my Contax 167mt with 50mm f/1.4 and zooms from 18mm to 150mm a lot too. I have a couple of Yashica TL Electros, both ITS versions as I recall. I don't think I have ever used them.

my old Canon 7s with "light queen" Canon 0.95 50mm…. do not use it frequently but always come back to it those days I feel like rewarding myself
with something not all daily...

here with Tri-X 400...

Depends. Most of the time, the Zeiss Ikon ZM+35mm Summicron ASPH.

If in an SLR mood, FM3a and 35mm f/1.4 Ai-S.

I have grown way too fond of aperture priority AE. (Last year, I would've said "M4 and 35mm 'cron, next question?")
