I usually use two M's - one with a 35 and the other with either a 50 or 90. All take the same size filters and are f/2 except the 90 which is f/2.8 One has a motor drive the other does not. Usually one has TMAX 100 and the other TriX which I can choose to shoot anywhere from 400 to 1600. Mostly I leave one in my bag when roaming because I've decided which lens/film combination is going to work better for me in the given conditions. This is a place where a digital M would save me a body - it's easy to change lenses and they are small and easily fit in either a jacket pocket or a pouch hanging from my belt. Changing film speed would be trivial. Adam
