A Nikon D100 with an AF50/1.4 used in MF mode. A bit bulkier than my M4 but actually about the same weight with the above lens. Usues CF card standard and AAs are available for it, though I prefer the ever lasting Lithium Ion rechargeables that the D100 ships with. If you REALLY need to, I suppose that you could use Leica R glass on it with the right modifications or adapters.
