I am an SLR kind of person but rangefinder-wise it has to be the Leica IIc w/ Elmar 50 f/3.5.

M6 + 28 Summicron which is what am out with this morning. Probably would be smarter to say my M9 but my M6 is my favorite user.

One camera and one lens. Well that would be my Leica IIIc with a 5cm f/3,5 Elmar.
But I have taken it a step or two further. The bezel is bent back on the Elmar far enough that the f-stops can not be adjusted. The aperture is stuck at f/8. Since the camera is now 60 years old, and I doubt the top shutter speeds are correct, I shoot only Ilford Pan F (ISO 50) in the camera at 1/250 of a second.
So I am one camera, one lens, one f-stop and one film. Very restrictive some might say, but on a sunny day, the set up works fine.

My daily carry is not a RF camera. It either a Nikon F3 or 801s with 50f1.8E in my briefcase. RF cameras are for the weekend when I have more time to enjoy photography.

Plaubel 670 w/80mm Nikkor. I find I rarely need anything else, although I often enjoy shooting with my M3+50 Lux and my new Oly OMD as well.
