In the past I used to carry an M6 with 35 'cron + an F4S with a sac of heavy
lenses . 105 / 2.8 Micro , 50 / 1.8 , 180 / 2.8 , 35 / 2 and 24 / 2.8 .

The F4S is a fantastic tool , but , for as amateur photographer , I was always
concerned about that heavy equipment .
Finally I decided to sell the Nikon gear and buy a few Leica lenses for the 
money .
Sometimes a regret my F4 . I've tried an F80 six months ago , but nothing to
compare with .
I think that I haven't even taken a tenth of the possibilities of the M6 , so 
I'll stay
with that light stuff that I can carry around everywhere .
