[Leica] One Camera, one lens

[dnygr at cshore.com (dnygr)]

When I go out with my camera, I rarely have an extra lens with me. I like to 
use the lens on the camera--sometimes that's a 21mm, othertimes, a 28 or 35. 
Much more rarely it's a 50 and almost never, a 135. I feel most comfortable 
with the 35, 1.4--that is to say, I've used that since day one and know it 
the best. 

I usually have two Ms with me, both with the same film in them. I hand 
meter. On a sunny day, no meter is necesary. The Sunny 16 rule works 
well--ever notice how absurd the photo magazines are when they list 
exposures for a shot done on a sunny day in a sun-lit setting. 

I don't like carrying extra lenses. I don't mind having an extra camera in 
my backpack. I keep the film used as a constant to minimize my forgetting 
which film I'm using. 

There are times, however, when I do go out with more than one lens. That is 
when I do view camera photography. View camera photography gives you great 
results and makes you appreciate the qaulity and ease of use our Leicas 
provide.
