Not many minimalists here, I see. Hehehe. Everyone wants a cabinet full of stuff, and to pick the ideal stuff for the job. Makes sense, if you have the cabinet full of stuff. I just wonder how many of us do? How many of the top class photos are made by these folks, vs. those with a humble 1 lens setup and a good set of legs?
usayit: that Leica setup sounds great. Rangefinders are great for most of what we want to do with a camera. The only thing you're forgetting about the M6 vs. M8 is film. After shooting digital for a while, I'd forgotten how bulky film is. Much more bulky than batteries & memory, especially for a long stay in Europe. I see from your posts that you're big on the monopod. What are the pros & cons of it vs. a tripod or no 'pod at all? It seems to me they'd be good for stabilizing the up-down aspect, but not the side-side aspect.
gryphonslair: Not a big fan of not having the perfect piece of equipment, I see. Do you have all that equipment you mentioned in Post #24? If so, that is GREAT. It is nice that you have the choice. If not, what have you chosen for yourself? If not, I assume you'd just rent something if you were going to have a special photo trip?
