I agree with the above and that is the approach I usually take. Four of the 5 working days I carry my Domke 803 with the M system with me, and most days I use the Ms. I try to integrate the Ms into my daily life. But sometimes even this modest-sized outfit is too much. When I go on a business trip I do not want to check any luggage, and if I have to take along papers, computer etc., then the camera that goes with me has to fit in the pocket of a suit jacket. And an M6 simply does not fit there. So on those occasions I take my Ricoh GR1 which is not much bigger than a pack of cigarettes.
