After almost 30 years of looking through the lens, I was able to pick up a Hexar for $70 Canadian a few years ago. I fell in love with rangefinders again, but did not like the autofocus or the lack of lens selection so I bought an M3 from a friend and got hooked. I now have an M^ and M6HM, I don't have a 24 or 28 but I have the rest of the Leica focal lengths and use the 35 the least of all. I keep putting it on the camera and trying to use it without success. I guess I am too shy to get close enough. One body/one lens is a great idea, the question would be which one? The 75 is the fastest lens I own so it tends to be on the camera the most if I am taking pictures inside (which is most of the time) or in the evening. If I could only have 1 lens it would probably be one I don't have. I went for years with various Pentaxs and a 50mm 1.4 as my main lens, so I would opt for the 50mm Summilux. Aren't we glad we have so many lenses to choose from?
