When one finds gear that fits the way one sees and works it's liberating. My perfect fit is something that I can jsut pick up and not think about the equipment. It jsut gets out of the way and allows me to create.
Almost all of my persoanl work for the last decade or so had been done with a Leica Monochrom and 35mm focal length. That is also my usual travel kit. Though lately I seem to be seeing a bit wider and have been going out with a 24 instead of 35. I never find this limiting becasue it seems to be the way I see naturally. It took me years to figure find my way here. It's a life long journey and everyones road is different.
Some of my biggest influences:
Walker Evans
Bresson
Robert Frank
Winigrand
Davidson
Meyerowitz
