Interesting question. 

I went to San Francisco (I'm from the Bay Area and miss it terribly) with 1 M6
and a 50mm f2.8 Elmar-M a few years ago, E-6 film. The photographs I took with
this combination are some of the best I have ever taken, a number of them are
on my Web pages. 

An M6 and 50 would be my choice if restricted to one camera and one non-zoom
lens. If a zoom lens is allowed, it would be my R8 and 35-70mm f4, a superb
lens and camera combination.
