At any given time I have only one lens on any of my cameras that I'm using!!! :)

Sorry- couldn't resist. Although I have a bevy of lenses for the M6 (20mm
Russar, 35 Summilus pre-ASPH, 35 f3.5 Kyoei, 50 f/2 Nikkor HC, 50 f1.4
Canon, 85 Steinheil, 90 Tele-Elmarit skinny, 135 f3.5 Steinheil) I find
that if I desired, I *could* get along with just the 35 f1.4 Summilux.
Well, portraits would be tough, I guess the "ideal kit" for me would be
(from lenses I already have) the 35 Summilux and the 90 Tele-Elmarit.
I have though about selling some stuff and trying that 75 2.5
Cosina/Voiglander thing....... ideally, I'd *love* to get the 75
Summilux.... sigh...... I think 2 f1.4 lenses would be great. Wait, the 35
Summilux, 50 1.4 Canon LTM, AND the 75 Summilux... Wait, I like the fun of
the 20mm too...
#@$!%&!!@- this is how I got into this mess!!!!!

But I'm still trying to figure out how to tell my wife that I bought a
Leica...  } :^o
