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

[saganicc at MSKCC.ORG (Saganich, Christopher/Medical Physics)]

The least amount I like to travel with is an AGFA Super Isolette (with 
yellow/green filter and hood) and 7 rolls of EFKE 100.  That will get me 
through two weeks anywhere and with excellent results.

Always a tough one.

Lately, M6 and CV 50/1.5 and 28/2 keeps me pretty happy.
HP5+, FP4+, TMZ and some NPH. Small flash in tow as
well.  Last trip to NY, also slipped a Bessa R with 21/4 into
the bag with ease :-)

Last time I traveled by car (Gaspe penninsula, Canada), the
kit was a Bessa R, a 35/2.5P and the aforementioned 50 and
21 lenses.  I also carried a Nikon FM3a with the lovely 28/2.8
and a 135/2.8 AIS. 

The Nikon 135 turned out perfect for many selective landscape
type pics, and in fact the 28/135 combo got a surprising amount
of "air time" during the whole trip.  Since then, I sometimes
think that if I weren't so enamoured of RF shooting, the little
FM3a and those two lenses could keep me a quite happy
shooter for some time.
