For an afternoon of meditation, I stick the 50/3.5 (although it's Russian ;) on the Leica II and load with Tri-X (yeah -- cheating, I know! ;) Set exposure at 1/200 f/8, focus at 3m. Keeps stuff from about 2.5m-4m in focus (or something like that). Then just walk around and when you see interesting things happening about 3m infront of the camera, a quick snap captures it for posterity. It's delightful!
