I have used a Leica M as my main camera since 2016. I have owned a bunch of them and the latest is an M10.

My main analogue camera is a black Leica M7
[Other M-cameras that has been in my bag; M3, M4, M6TTL/0.72, M6TTL/0.58, M8, M9, M240, M-D type 262, M-P type 240]

My dream lens. Expensive – but crazy good.
Better than other 50:s? Well…I have owned a couple; Zeiss Planar 2/50, Leica Summicron 2/50 v4, Voigtländer 1,1/50 Nokton. The Zeiss is no doubt the better of the three when we talk picture quality – but it only goes to f2. When we talk build quality the Leicas are always number one – according to me. Should I choose the one that give most for the money I would choose the Zeiss Planar.

The 35mm lens is my most used. Another lens that has come, gone and come back. It was my first 35mm lend for the M. A great lens. Always super sharp.
There are many 35mm options for the M out there. The most obvious one beeing the Leica 2/35 Summicron. I sold my Biogon and found me a Summicron (for more than triple the price). Was it three times better. A great lens to use – but not three times better. Switched back to Zeiss again after a while. First to the Biogon 2/35 ZM – but I found it too big. Changed back to the 2,8/35 again. Back to where I started. One step slower – but that’s ok.

A nice wide angle lens – but not perfect on a Leica M10 when shooting in color…

My camera for faster situations like sports but also nature, landscapes and assigments (the few I get…) is my trusty X-T2. It too is getting old…but it still goes strong. Can’t see why I should change it as long as it works. A great camera.
I still have my first Fuji X-camera on my shelf; the original X100. Since that camera I have had many X-series cameras; X100, X100T, X100F, X100V, X-Pro1, X-Pro2, X-E2. The X-T2 is the only I frequently use today.
My first Fuji camera was a Fujifilm S2 Pro. My first digital SLR.

I only have two lenses for the X-T2 today. The XF 18-55 is the shorter one. 18-55 may sound like a cheap kit-lens but that is not the case. This is a really good lens. Dead sharp!
I have had many Fuji X-lenses, but sold them all; XF 10-24/4, XF 2/18, XF 1,4/35, XF 2/35, XF 1,2/56, XF2/90 and XF 55-200. Now I only use the Leica when it comes to primes.

This is how a camera should look – a ”real camera” in my book. Well the Leica M is more beatutiful – but the Nikon F was what I wanted back in the 1980:s as I started my photography…
I can’t remember all the different Nikon cameras that I have used since the 1990 – when I bought my first. It is at least; F-301, F-501, F-801, FM2, F3, F4, F100, D200, D300s and D7100.

Simply a great fast, small 50 mm lens.
