I've been using my M7 a lot recently. Normally I would shoot one roll of film, then put that camera away and pull another one out in the rotation. But the M7 is such a great tool and fun to use, I have just been reloading it.
There's a nice used M7 available from one of the small shops here in Switzerland I kept checking out, but I instead picked up a new-to-me Leica M-A (BC) over the weekend to join the Nikon F2 on film duties. Something about staying all mechanical for the film cameras just seems right at this point. Now the 28mm and 50mm Summilux-M Asphs (both v1s, and now there's no sense in having any close focus variants for the M-A anyway!) I have will get a chance at film too.
While the sensor is the same between the M-A and the F2, my goodness the fit and finish of the Leica is noticeably nicer. Let's hope the pressure plate doesn't scratch the film.
M-A, 50 f/1.5 Voigtlander Nokton ASPH II MC, Kodak Pro Image 100
I tried lab scans v Negative Lab Pro digital camera home scans for this roll and had mixed results, not totally happy with either, I really should never have sold my Pakon 135 and just lived with what that gave me(!)
Trying to decide if I like this lens with color negative film, jury is out for me for now.

What makes you think it didn't?
but seriously, looking a the camera and mirrors, I'm thinking they must have a lot of accidents at that intersection.
@Desmolicious, I'm pretty sure the camera saw me, probably a wide angle lens. @coralnut, this is a pretty quiet back street, I had to wait a few minutes for this many vehicles to come in frame.
