It's been awhile since I've been in RF and film. While I love my D300, I truly miss the engagement of a good RF and using film. 98% of my shooting is either landscape/nature or architectural.
Budget considerations will "limit" me to one Bessa and-at most-2 lenses. I would appreciate responses from you more experienced shooters about:
First, whether an RF camera and wide lenses is a good choice for 35mm shooting of the above subjects. Second, what camera/lens combos would you suggest?
I'm looking for the best combinations of overall flexibility and speed because eventually I'd like to get seriously into people shots as well and would like to do available light architectural shooting in low light off a tripod.
Thanks for any feedback as I chew on when and how to rejoin the RF community and go back to the creativity of film.

I have an M6 but use to own a Bessa. I find the Nokton 40mm 1.4SC a very good lens for architectural work. It is sharp and great in low light for night work. As far as an LTM lens the 35mm Color Skopar is good and the Heliar 15mm can also be fun to work with,
 
I'm looking to see the camera combo, as well as the lenses. My thoughts are to get either the R2M or the R4M with the 35/f1.4 and the 50/f1.5 and/or possibly the 75/f2.5. Responses anyone?
