I've been doing street photography in NYC of late. I often have an M6 with a Tri-Elmar (28-35-50) and shoot Delta 3200 @ 1000. Or, I have a 21mm (pre asph) or 28 (asph, but first version) and shoot slower film--Delta 100 or Kodak panx 125. When I go MF, I have a Rollei TLR or a Horseman 6x9 or the Hassy 38 Biogon. Bagwise, I like the Dohmkes. They fit the hip well, but could be lighter. Since I take only one lens with me, the Tri-Elmar is a wonderful lens. A tad slow, but with the film I use, ok. Even with slow film it's not bad because I can focus it with the rangefinder, whereas the Hassy and Horseman don't have this feature and I need to estimate disance (works well). For snaps, I use a Digilux three. Not bad and I get some great shots with it. I don't like looking at computer screens and prefer the darkroom. I have a good fan and find no problem with fumes, whereas the computer strains my eyes. Doug
