Well, I do use a Leica M6 TTL 0.85 with 50 Elmar-M and 90 Elmarit-M lenses (all chrome) as my quiet environment/contemplative photography/poor man's M6J kit but other cameras which I also use are: - - My medium format kit consisting of a Hasselblad 501CM with 80 CB and 160 CB lenses. I switch off between a waist level finder and a 45 degree prism depending on my mood and circumstances. I use a Gossen LunaPro digital handheld meter which I bought special for the Hassy but I find I use it with just about everything! It's a great little meter! - - My travel kit is a Contax G1 with the 28 Biogon, 45 Planar and 90 Sonnar. Yes it is noisy and the AF is balky with the 90 (part of the reason I bought the 0.85) but the kit is super light and the Zeiss glass is second to none. - - My family pictures kit and alternative lightweight travel kit is a Nikon 28Ti & 35 Ti. - - My action kit is a Nikon N70 with either a 85 f 1.8 AF-D Nikkor or an 80-400 Tokina ATX. - - My nostalgia kit is a Nikon F3/T Champagne and / or a Nikon FTN coupled up to one of my old manual focus Nikkors.
