My lenses are mostly Leitz but not all and I don't have Leica bodies newer than M4 and R3 because I don't need them. I run a Contarex just to be able to use the 35mm Distagon, a Nikon f2 just to be able to use the Nikkor 85mm 1.4 and the 45mm GN-Nikkor, a Topcon (lovely camera) just to be able to use the macro Topcor, a Linhof 220 because of its Technikar, an Ultrawide because of its Hologon etc etc. Compared to the cost of outstanding lenses the bodies, especially older ones, are comparatively inexpensive.....so my advice is to find the image former you like then find a film chamber to put behind it.
