I used to use my Olympus OM bodies for color (virtually all Kodachrome) 
because of the precise composition possible with an SLR, and my other 
cameras for B&W.  Now I use an LX3 and 30D (with OM and Nikkor lenses) for 
color  and have shot film (B&W) mainly in my M3, M2, and IIIf  for the last 
six months.  I do have my Pentax 67, Rolleiflex,  XA, and Minox IIIB loaded. 
 

If I had an M8.2 or M9, I probably would use that almost all the time.  I 
love rangefinder focusing.
