I'm looking forward to trying this idea out with a CLE / 40mm M-Rokkor combo. However I'm also realistic enough to recognize that I likely won't be camera-monogamous this year.
What's your 2014 1 camera, 1 lens setup?

Have to try X-E2 with 23mm 1.4...no, why not just stick with the x100s !

Pentax MX and 28/3.5 Pentax-M. Just for a change from rangefinders.
Incidentally, there's no logical reason why I should prefer it to my OM1n and 50/1.8 - the bodies are much the same - but perhaps it's that MX shutter release that seems to be so well-synchronised with my picture-taking reflexes that taking a picture becomes one single action that ends with that precise and perfectly defined clunk.
On the other hand it might be because in the 1970s and later I spent many many happy years just with a screw-mount Pentax SP1000 and a 28/3.5 Super Takumar, using Tri-X and Kodachrome 25, occasionally using a Super Takumar 55/2.0. It was all I needed then, and perhaps it's all I need now.

Hmmm, for personal work it would have to be my M4-2 and 35mm pre ASPH Summilux.

5d and 50mm 1.2, should really use M9 more but just love the Canon 50mm.

I always start with great intentions but my ADHD personality seems to get in the way. I worked for 20 years with my K1000 and M50/2 but since I started picking up other cameras I can't seem to stay with only one for very long.
But, my Christmas present to myself this year was a Leica Null Series replica. I have really been enjoying the enforced change of pace so I am going to start the year using the Leica O. The lens choice is pre-determined.
I am going to work with ISO 400 film since the 3.5 maximum aperture on one end, and the 12 minimum on the other with the Anistigmat provides big limitations. I have a lot of Arista EDU Ultra on hand as well as some Tri-X. I also have a lot of EK XX which is very flexible and can easily be used between ISO 200 and 800.
As usual I have too many choices.

M2 & 35/2.8 Summaron. This combination has been my companion since October 2013 and shows no sign of slowing down.

Thanks Helen, it's the combo my admirers do the most admiring from 😛
Ricoh GXR-M with VF-2 viewfinder, a Leitz LTM -> M adapter, Voigtländer Heliar 2.0/50mm nickel lens.
Tack sharp high-key, high-contrast portraits, it's close to a signature look, I'd say...

I am going to start out with an M6 and 40mm Rokkor, lets see how long that lasts. 🙂

No way in hell am I limiting myself to one camera and one lens. That's crazy talk!

Sold more stuff today, in line with my 2014 resolutions of clearing shelves, to end up in the new year with:
M4-P - 50mm - f/1.2 for film and
M9 - 35mm - f/2 for digital.
(secretly keeping the 28mm elmarit asph hidden in my pocket though... for those moment.)

If I were going to do such a thing, it's be this:

But I really need this in my purse:

I'm with you Frank. besides I got too many camera's loaded with film & they simply are not going to be used up before Jan.1. 😀

I did just this for a lot of 2013. Great combination in every way. I won't be sticking to just this in 2014 though. Maggie's C Biogon 35 is a strong option for me too, and there's no way my stealth black MM and tabbed Summicron will sit on the shelf. Or even my Rolleiflex. I like Pioneer's plan with the Leica 0.
