I use an MX with a grid screen for shooting slides, mostly provia 100F. When I'm doing this I'm taking things a little more seriously, so I bring along most of my (small) contingent of lenses - M 50/1.7, M 28/3.5 and A 70-210/4. I have an M 135/3.5 that hasn't seen much use since I got the 70-210, but I do enjoy how light the 135 is when I do bring it along.

I have an ME Super that I use for more casual, street and candid shooting. Almost always loaded with Delta 400 and always on aperture priority. I'd say 90% of my shots with this camera are with the M 50/1.7, although I'm giving some thought to picking up a 40/2.8 to make this setup even more portable.

I see another camera in my future soon, although I haven't quite decided where to place my limited photographic dollars. I've recently shot some Portra 400NC and been pretty happy with it, so I'm thinking about a portrait shooting body. Probably something with TTL flash support like a Super Program or LX. Of course, I do want to buy that 40mm someday…

I use my MZ-S with the FA50 1.4 or the 645 with the 75 2.8. (yes I'm a
fan of normal lenses, and I'll probably pick up a 45 for the 645 at some
point.). I take the 645 when I can use a tripod or when I have time to
dawdle on one image. I use the MZ-S for walking around or for when I
need telephoto. I also have an MX that I use for fun, i.e., I like
shooting with it even though it offers no advantages over the MZ-S.
