So you've got a M10x - what else do you carry?

I usually take my m10-d. Sometimes the m4. Love the process of shooting film, not so much the process afterwards. At te moment I am considering selling the m4 and get an M monochrome instead. But not sure what model (first or m10m).

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

In general, I prefer to shoot with one body at a time. In the case I need to switch between two bodies, I prefer two that are fairly similar. But I may also bring two completely different camera systems if I anticipate widely different needs.

My mostly used setups are:

- Usually only the M10 and one or 2-4 lenses (having the following focal lengths to choose from: 21, 28, 35, 50, 75, 90)

- For wildlife, macro, fast moving subjects etc., the Canon EOS 5DSR, or possibly a 7D, and a number of lenses, often in addition to the M10 with one lens (cron 35 asph or SEM 21)

- In rare cases when I have been asked to shoot an occasion or similar, the M10, an M9 as second body/backup and some lenses

- When travelling, the M10, 3-4 lenses and a Sony RX-100 as a backup only

- If i expect to shoot video, the M10, a few lenses and a Canon EOS M5, zoom lens + external microphone

These days around town or nearby locations, =>  an M10R + couple of lens depending on the type of photography I'm planning  + SL2+35 or 75mm.

When traveling in the long distance pre-covid past, an older M10+wide angle lens + macro lens + either SL/SL2 + 75mm or CL+35mm Summilux.

If Video is the order of the day SL/SL2 +24-90mm/55-135mm-TL.

I usually carry an M10M and an M10R with something between 21 and 50. I sometimes use the WATE (especially on the M10M) and would love to get my hands on a 90 macro at some point

Otherwise it is the X1D if I am doing anything slow or with a tripod or the SL2 with one of the zooms if I am doing video or want weather sealing/fast-er AF etc

[Kwesi]

Absolutely nothing whatsoever!!

For my paid work(architecture) I shoot Nikon.

For my personal work an M10P with 28/2 v2, 35 FLE and 50/1.4 ASPH

[nuc001]

M10-P + 50mm Summilux-ASPH & Q2 most of the time, just Q2 if I'm feeling lazy.

recently, I carry M10P with 50 cron V and...Voigtlander 50/1.5.

You are right, I have 2 50mm lens at the same time for no reason 😅

[ELAN]

I carry an M wherever I go. One camera and one lens. Usually the M10 and 35 lens, but sometimes an MP and sometimes a 28 or 50 lens. A single lens typically stays mounted for weeks as it takes me time to get into a focal length mindset (except for heavy lenses like the 75 Lux and 50 Noctilux f/1 which are mounted for a day or two).  When traveling I have 28/35/50 lenses in the carry-on but usually end up using a single lens the entire trip. Works for me.

I am using a small crumpler bag with my M10M, SEM21, Summicron 28V2, Apo Summicron 50, Macro M90. 50 and 90 with step up filter rings from 39 to 46 and some filters (yellow, green, orange CPL and ND 3.0). This is small and lightweight and incudes everything I need. When intending to do longtime exposures I add a tripod and the RRS L-Plate for the camera. As a non professional photographer I don´t see a need for a 2´nd housing and I have to say that in 30 years I never needed one.

[Toastybunzz]

My M10 is my secondary camera, my main is either a Mamiya 7 or a Leica M2/M5. 

[Stephen.s1]

M10P or Q2.  Rarely carry 2 or more cameras.

[Anakronox]

I will carry my M10 in addition to the M10M, but find it rarely gets used.  I try and set out with the objective to shoot monochrome or color.  The other night it was too cold and uncomfortable to keep the M10M in hand.  I had a Fuji X100V packed and shot the other half of my walk with it.  I was surprised at how well the files held and how much fun it was, though it still wasn’t quite as engaging to shoot as a true rangefinder.

I went on vacation with my family for two weeks last August to Scotland and Ireland. I took my M10 (factory converted to an M10P), APO Summicron 50mm and Summilux 35mm ASPH FLE. The Summilux never left the camera. 

For a back up and a longer reach lens, I also took my Sony RX100VII. This is small and light and the long end of the zoom is a 200mm FF equivalent. The built-in flash was also useful occasionally.

All of this went into my Hadley Pro 2020 bag along with my iPad. It was a great set up.

Now my second carry is a Hasselblad 907x. Or the M10 is now the second carry? Depends on what kind of speed I need and how much size/weight matters.

[erniethemilk]

Depends what I’m shooting. If I’m out with the M10-P then I don’t carry anything else, but being predominantly interested in landscape/woodland photography I have a Fuji camera with a couple of zoom lenses I use - but in that case the Leica stays home. 

[Good To Be Retired]

Nothing.

We have multiple cameras to select from, and I select whatever is most suitable for the issue at hand.

It's been my personal observation that, for me,  carrying more than what is necessary to address the issue at hand detracts from both the results and the enjoyment of the experience.  Carrying additional stuff "just in case" has proven counterproductive for me.
