Advertisement Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Hi Fernmelder, Take a look here How many film cameras do people still own and use?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
earleygallery Posted January 8, 2010 Share #102 Posted January 8, 2010 I have plenty of film in the freezer but few film cameras to shoot it with. In truth, although I like the aesthetics of film, I don't feel much inclination to shoot the stuff. The only film cameras I have now are an MP (which I'll probably flog this year), an 0-series replica (which, despite being a lovely little thing, is borderline chocolate teapot in terms of its usefulness) and an NPC-195 Polaroid pack film camera. I do also have a couple of SX-70 cameras but with only one (well outdated) pack of film in the fridge, they might as well be used as small doorstops. Why use them as doorstops when you can buy film for them? POLAPREMIUM - film Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbretteville Posted January 8, 2010 Share #103 Posted January 8, 2010 My IIIf, M3 and M6 see use. My Bessa-T 101, Pentax LX and Roleicord TLR do not. Carl Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drums1977 Posted January 8, 2010 Share #104 Posted January 8, 2010 I own and use on a regular basis a Leica M6, a Rolleiflex 2.8F and a Mamiya 7ii. In my opinion -forgive me, Leica purists- none of these cameras is worst or better than the others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hw9l Posted January 8, 2010 Share #105 Posted January 8, 2010 Just don't sell your film gear, you'll regret it soon enough. I did, and I bought most things back over the time. Many $$$ waisted. Right now I don't even own anything digital (though my wife and kids have a series of Nikon DSLRs). My analog gear: Leica M2, Rolleiflex 3.5F and Mamiya RB67 Pro-SD. Plus some older cameras I use from time to time to keep them going. For some events I will get a Nikon D90 in the next weeks, but on my business trips, you will find either the Rolleiflex or (more likely) the M2 in my car.

Graf Lomo Posted January 9, 2010 Share #106 Posted January 9, 2010 I own to much (said my wife) I use Leica IIIa, R8, Yashica Elektro 35 and my beloved Holga. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjinouck Posted January 9, 2010 Share #107 Posted January 9, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) i use next to my leicaflex sl, a zenit EM, a nikon FE, and a mamiya. i just love all these camera´s.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl E Posted January 10, 2010 Share #108 Posted January 10, 2010 I use a Hasselblad 500 C and sometimes also a Leica R4s (both belong to my wife). A Russian Horizon 202 panoramic camera mostly lives in its bag, but one of these days I would like to take it for a spin. But I have to admit that my M8 is the camera I use the most.

rob139 Posted January 10, 2010 Share #110 Posted January 10, 2010 I will never part from my M2, but have to admit I rarely use it. Superb and beautiful. Sold my M6 to fund a 50mm summilux ASPH. Cheers, Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maciel Posted January 11, 2010 Share #111 Posted January 11, 2010 Many. Once digital is up to film quality I might switch. Owned an RD-1, M8, M8.2. All gone. Just used a M9 for a week. It's not there yet, may be when the sensor is 35MP. Stll have all the film Leicas... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Joachim_I Posted January 11, 2010 Share #112 Posted January 11, 2010 Two Ms loaded with Provia 100F and 400x. Two 6x7 cameras loaded with Velvia 50. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flatfour Posted January 11, 2010 Share #113 Posted January 11, 2010 The more I look at and sometimes use my film cameras the more I wish Leica would produce a small (Leica III size) camera OF SIMILAR BUILD QUALITY. The X1 is a very good little camera but it is light and feels cheap by Leica standards. I still use my Leica 1a, Leica III, R4S, Ikonta 520/2, Hasselblad, Ikoflex III ( Mirrored Albada finder model), and my Contarex with 50mm Planar (sharpest 50mm lens I have ever used) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted January 11, 2010 Share #114 Posted January 11, 2010 Have you used an X1, then, Tony? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB23 Posted January 11, 2010 Share #115 Posted January 11, 2010 Nikon F5 R8 M4-P M5 M7 MP I will have to sell the R8 + one M, but these Damn M cameras are so lovely I can't get around to selling one. Each one of them is so special. Even the R8 is such a nice piece I just can't get myself to commit selling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdozier Posted January 11, 2010 Share #116 Posted January 11, 2010 2 MP's (Tri-X and KC 64) an M6 (classic) with Tri-X Nikon F3T with Portra plus 1 Poloroid (but alas no film ) The rangefinders all in use regularly, the Nikon far less and the Poloroid was put in a drawer after my the last film was shot... m Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flatfour Posted January 12, 2010 Share #117 Posted January 12, 2010 Andy - Not yet - I hope to soon. The dealer told me I should not try to compare it. Fair enough and I'm not saying it's no good. I am sure the optics are good and reviews about the images are very good. But he said it's not built like the old Leicas. I asked if that was because they are not intended to last so long and he made the reasonable comment that progress is so fast that it doesn't pay to make them too durable.

proenca Posted January 12, 2010 Share #118 Posted January 12, 2010 Got couple digital cameras : M8, my main camera for almost everything and a Nikon D2h exclusivly for macro and tele work. Was cheap this way rather than go around with a clunkly visoflex and the sorts. Film wise, I have one : A Leica MP Anthracite, which I use rarely but I do enjoy it. More of a camera to pass on to a son one day .) ( or so I romantic think so ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
