Subject: [Leica]What is the least amount of equipment you can use?

I use the rule of doubling.....
1 M6 plus  15, 35/2 or 1.4, 75
OR
1 M6 plus 15, 50/1.4, 90TE Thin
While this is not the lightest outfit possible, it does what I want.  Fast
lenses, low ( not ultra low)  weight.
If I want a really light kit...... M6 with 35/2 .   That is almost as light
as it gets with M6 cameras.

Always: Hoods, but no filters, no flash,  just film.  TMX100.  Plus an
emergency roll of Fuji ASA 200 Print FIlm.

Since I got the 35/1.4, it may go instead of the 35/2.  The weight is
marginally the same, but you get an extra stop when you need it....
