Advertisement Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Hi Double Negative, 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!
cheewai_m6 Posted February 8, 2010 Share #142 Posted February 8, 2010 i used to use a nikon fm2, and an fm3a. since i got my m6, i haven't even been tempted to shoot those film cameras. i mean, why shoot nikons when you got a leica? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iShutterbug Posted February 8, 2010 Share #143 Posted February 8, 2010 I had collected so much screwmount equipment that I was at the point of having trouble deciding which to shoot with what. Last year I was experimenting a lot and I took some pictures I really liked with my IIIg, IIIf, II, II, G2, and R3A. I recently sold them all except the IIIf and Leicavit. I also sold a few lenses but I still have a set of 35mm, 50mm, 90mm, and 135mm with brightline finders. Now all I have to do is decide among them. But I do feel better because now it seems there are a lot fewer decisions to make. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austinite Posted February 8, 2010 Share #144 Posted February 8, 2010 Besides my M3 DS I have a Rollei 35s, Nikon Fm3a and a Nikon F100. For Digital I have a Canon 5D and a Canon G10. Though none of the others have the build quality of the Leica I still treasure them all. For what it's worth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheewai_m6 Posted February 9, 2010 Share #147 Posted February 9, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Cuz it's a different approach to a shooting subject. Sometimes a use a rangefinder, sometimes I use a SLR... ok, so i didn't pick words carefully. why would i shoot a nikon, when i can shoot with a leica. i haven't had any desire to shoot with the nikon films. if i want to shoot slr, i shoot digital. i have been shooting film a lot more than digital this last 6 months.

SteveYork Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share #148 Posted February 11, 2010 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 sold off or am in the process of selling some surplus bodies and lenses in the last couple of months. I have an SL and 21mm Elmarit M on that auction site. For me the problem is becoming the cost of developing since I don't do my own. Maybe I should learn. I'll probably sell off the SLR stuff, because I don't see myself using it that much. It was an interesting experiment, and in some respects I like them better then the rangefinders. The viewfinders on those old Leicaflex are truly beautiful. And the cameras are so easy and comfortable to use in my big hands. But I'm stuck with circa. 1970's lenses and I can tell a difference. And I'll probably sell one of the rangefinders if I decide to jump onto the M8/M9 bandwagon. I just added another MP as a back up for a trip. I suspect I'll always keep the MP which I've owned from the start. Too many good pictures were captured with the camera. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCS Posted February 14, 2010 Share #149 Posted February 14, 2010 Several! 2 M6s (one classic, one TTL) Nikon F100 Blackbird Fly Holga Instax wide Karen Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.M Posted February 14, 2010 Share #150 Posted February 14, 2010 Which of the M6 's do you prefer, Karen, and why ? Thanks . Etienne Michiels Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCS Posted February 16, 2010 Share #151 Posted February 16, 2010 My classic is a .72 and my TTL is an .85; I use different lenses on them. I don't really have a preference beyond that. I use both cameras often and wouldn't want to part with either one. Karen Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerimager Posted February 17, 2010 Share #152 Posted February 17, 2010 M3 with a 50 M5 preferred with Noctilux of late M7 0.72 with a 35/1.4 or 50/2 M7 0.85 with 75/1.2, 50/1.4, noctilux,90 and 135 The M7s get more use but both the 3 and 5 don't sit on a shelf!

gollum Posted February 23, 2010 Share #157 Posted February 23, 2010 Om1n Nikon F80 Hasselblad 500 C/M Leica M4-P .........and yes they have all been used used since September,except for the Leica which I have only just aquired this week, although I have a roll awaiting the darkroom. We have been actively encouraged to use all mediums at Uni, its amazing how many film users there are, although I would be the first to admit most my work is now digital Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmas Posted February 23, 2010 Share #158 Posted February 23, 2010 My name is Noel and I've not bought a film camera this year, I've never bought a digital, the mobile has a camera though. I seem to be trapped in a gear heads forum... . Noel Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn R Posted February 24, 2010 Share #159 Posted February 24, 2010 I can't seem to get serious about digital. I've been dazzled by some of the results from my friends DSLR's but it doesn't motivate me in the same way that film does. Black and white is my choice and I love the results it gives me. Film just feels real in a way that digital doesn't to me. Dad bought me an Olympus OM10 when I was 17 (and the world was young). I used it exclusively for 20 years until I changed it for an OM1n which I still use the majority of the time. I have a Bronica ETRS too. The reason I'm here is that I've finally achieved a long standing ambition on a limited budget and purchased an M3 with 5cm Summicron. I feel no urge to change. Although I do carry a compact digital when I'm travelling just to stick in my pocket if I'm in a dodgy area. Glenn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandro Posted February 24, 2010 Share #160 Posted February 24, 2010 For sentimental reasons I can't get rid of my Canon A1 and FTb. The other camera's are a bunch of Leica M's that I use. Usually at least two of them are loaded with color negative film. I don't have a digital and I still enjoy film very much. The attention is kept focused on taking the pictures and I don't have to look at the screen all the time to know if it is ok or not. I usually have my negatives scanned as well, so that I can use them digitally as well. I hope to continue like this for a while, and I kind of enjoy thinking which set I shall be packing for a specific trip or holiday. Lex Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
