For me: Nikon D700 + 50mm. I am still in love with this old camera.

Just for fun: If you were only allowed one camera and one lens to go on it, what would be your choice and why.
I already have it, Canon 6D with Canon 28-300 lens :-) I don't intend to change unless I go back to film and then I'll put the 28-300 on my film EOS Rebel.
Olympus OM-D Mark 5 II -- weatherproof, dustproof, good in the cold, 5-axis stabilization, lightweight, size, nicely priced
Olympus 14-150mm II -- also weatherproof, dustproof, good in the cold, excellent image quality, lightweight, nice size, no lens creep and a very workable focal range. Not the fastest glass, but i'm not averse to bumping up my ISO
It would be Panasonic Lumix GX8 with the 15mm 1.7 lens.

Some of my glass is fast. Some of my glass is slow. And some of my glass is half-fast.
Fujifilm Xe2s with 18mm f2.

Nice camera, I'm curious why you would restrict yourself to a 18mm lens.

Thanks. I wouldn't restrict myself to just one lens, other than in the spirit of the OP''s question. Playing along with that idea, 18mm f2 covers probably 75% of my needs.

I have this camera... I’d go with the 10-24mm

You seem to have a unique style. Do you soot a lot of architecture? I carry my 16-35 with me whever I go but seldom use it. The 28mm end on my daily lens is pretty good for what I do.

Yes, I suppose a lot of it is architecture, in a way, cityscapes if you like, plus some scenery (landscapes? ) You can probably tell I've never really thought much about what categories my photos fall into. What do you like to shoot?

Nice lens. I went for the lighter option, albeit with less flexibility.

I see, yes your 18mm would be good for cityscapes. I want to do that but it is hard to do in South Korea due to the effort it takes to get to a point where one could setup for a cityscape and secondly the weather, it is heavily hazy here more often than not. Synchronizing a clear day and time to get to a good shooting point is hard to do for a hobbyist who is a workaholic :b

I shoot mostly events. Group luncheons. Group outings to tourist spots and visits to hospitals and stuff like that. Once in a while I get to shoot open markets and farm work and small factories.
