Edward & Joakim - thanks! I met her whilst staying in a house briefly, traveling "up north". I loved her so much so that whenever I head up that direction again, I'm taking a significant detour 
@Edward: How long have you been using the M7? Or do you just go back to film still occasionally? I'm enjoying the look you're getting. I did think about a film Leica too, but I only have 2 M lenses, so it wouldn't really be worth it for me, espeically as I still have my fixed lens rangefinder.

Hi Richard,
Thank you for the kind words!
I have completely moved back to film since last March. I have two M7 and my usual Zeiss ZM glass. It's very liberating not to have to pixel peep and I found that I enjoy the analog process more

Interesting! I'm surprised you've gone completely back to film, but at the same time I can completely understand. It wasn't until, I think 2014, that I stopped shooting film for personal work, which before then was 100% captured on film. The process, if sending to a lab for scanning, is so much easier and arguably more enjoyable. My hi-matic 7s2 is still the 'best' camera I've ever used, and I was going to pick it back up the other day, when I realised it wasn't even in the house (think it might be with family, somewhere). Enjoy it, happy shooting!

I only use two lenses for my Ms but I use one film and one digital body. You don't have to have an extensive kit. By choice that's all I have and I don't want to have a whole arsenal. I'd rather focus on the selected focal lengths I want to work with.

Honestly after SO much trial and error I just came to the decision that I was tired of letting gear get in the way of photography. I know I prefer working with Leicas so I set out to truly find what I wanted from this setup. I tried many different lenses and was just never totally happy. I was also fighting my instincts which is to focus on 28 and 50mm lenses. So I sold off everything excess and settled on the 28 Elmarit ASPH and a 50 Summarit 2.4 and so far it’s been working just great. I sometimes wish for a faster option but I’m planning on purchasing a Q next year so that will resolve that problem.
It’s not as difficult as you think to let things go, I just was tired of “analysis paralysis” and wanted to get back to just having my setup dialed in.

Interesting thought. I believe the advent of the Q has been quite an eye-opener for 28mm usage with smaller bodied Leica cameras which, to my mind at any rate, have always been more obviously reportage, street and travel cameras. 28 offers more flexibility than 35 and also responds better to horizontal cropping for Hasselblad pano type images which I love. Of course, 50mm is so versatile and makes a perfectly good portrait lens too. I'm not suggesting that wider or longer focal length lenses do not have their place, just that this pair does the trick most of the time unless you are primarily interested in landscape or wildlife.

I hear ya. For my personal work it is one camera usually my MM (back at Leica now so it's the m 10) and a 35 Lux FLE. Thats it.I have found over the years I tend to see at 35mm and in B&W so for me it's a no brainer.
Even with my professional work more than half is shot with a 35mm lens. Formal portraits with a 75 Summarit 2.5 and some other things with a 24 Elmarit 2.8 ASPH when needed. But my personal work is almost always shot with a 35.
