Two MPs and a few lenses: 35/2 asph; 50/1.4 asph; 90/2.8 and 135/4

 

A Leicaflex SL and SL2 with 28/2.8; 50/2 (w/ extension tubes); 180/3.4 apo

 

 

I'm down to a pair of MPs and a Leicaflex SL w/ no R lenses remaining. I'm not sure what I'll do with the SLR. It was purchased from a collector, never used, and I put too much money into it to make it right.

 

I'm going to pair my M lenses down a bit too.

Currently, six film cameras:

 

M7; carry with me everywhere with a 50 Summicron

Nikon F3HP; use particularly for the 105/2.5 portrait lens

Nikon F100; use when I need to walk around with a zoom

Nikon N90s; use with a lensbaby

Mamiya 645 Pro TL

Holga

 

And two digital cameras:

 

Nikon D70; particularly for family gatherings when I don't want to waste film

Canon G10; used mostly by my wife and daughter, but I simply love this camera as well

Film

Minolta XE-7(roll of Tmax3200 in it now); Hasselblad 500cm(having film processed now); Leica M6 (Kodak B&W C41) carried with me daily.

Digital

Canon G10 carried in my daily bag; D70,D200,D700 in my work bag

 

Oh yeah, M8 due for delivery tomorrow...........

 

I carry the M6 and the G10 all the time in a large Timbuk2 bag that poses as my "briefcase". Tomorrow I feel the M8 will be fondled most intimately for the next few weeks till the new wears off anyway.

If I am working, the Lowepro bag with the Nikons is on my shoulder.

Nikon 801s

Konica Heaxar RF

olympus XA

 

Just bought the Konica. Nikon is used about once or twice a year, Olympus gathering dust

M9 used 95% of the time

Was that the Hexar Aperture had on sale recently by any chance? I was going to have a look but noticed it had sold, after checking my bank balance yesterday I'm glad it had gone - like I need any more cameras anyway. :o

Just bought a Contax G2 as replacement of my TVS III. Could not afford a M8.2 and wanted AF for what I need the camera for this year. Running through my first roll of XP2 - quite excited to be back to analog!

Hi Cider eye. Yes it was the one Aperture had. I bought it as I was thinking of trying to do a bit of film work again. You seem to get a lot of camera for your £ but time will tell. I reckoned that for that price I could try it out and really see if I wanted to get back into film work and the hassle of processing and scanning. If I do I can probably sell for the same price (provided its still working!!!) and then get an M6 TTl or M7

Just added:

Nikon F4 (so I wont be getting the F5 or F6)

Canon EOS 5 (will use my R lenses on it)

Minolta XG-900 (thrown in with the above 2).

 

I used the Minolta yesterday and will use the Canon today.

Hasselblad 503 cw

 

Digital 3:

and the one I use the most - my 5mp Zeiss Nokia N95 8GB as I always have it with me 24/7

 

All the rest get used, but the Nokia isused the most, and is great within its restrictions.

 

God help us when they bring out a really good digital compact camera that also happens to be a great phone as well !

I regularly use my Contax G2 and Leica M6 Classic and love both. Also have a Konica Auto S2, and still have my first camera a Minolta XD7 which I use sporadically (only when I want to use the the 16 fisheye) Recently exiting my M8 and primarily went back to film but with Canon 7D for macro only, and have an EP-1 in my briefcase so I always have a camera on me.
