Which camera is or has been the true love of your life

Pentax Spotmatics (various models) mid-1970s to 2010. Beautiful cameras and lenses. I have to put in a word for them! All now sold. Became fascinated by Leica Ms 2-3 years and bought an M6 TTL in April 2010. Fabulous - can't keep my hands off it. And it has made a difference to my photography. The secret (for me), IMHO, is not necessarily the (two 50mm) Leica lenses but the viewfinder framing system, so different from an SLR viewfinder. (I am also a Facebook-avoider.)

I personally think that you can have multiples of the "True love of your life". I'll just limit this to 4 since that is the number of wives I could legally marry theoretically speaking :p

 

All still loved, used and in no particular order:

 

Minolta Maxxum 9

Leica M9

Leica MP

Sony Alpha 9

 

Interesting, the number 9 is in 3 cameras. Coincidence? I think not!

Started using a Praktica MTL3, Minolta 7000, Nikon F801,Nikon F80, Nikon D70, Nikon D200, Nikon D3 and now the Leica M9.

 

Also collected a few other cameras but never used them.

 

Leica M9 is the true camera love of my life.

1. Olympus OM4ti: small, light, spot metering. A reliable camera in contrast to my R8, M6ttl with their repeated faulty electronics, shutter problems and misaligned metering.

I bought my OM4ti in 1985 and it still works properly. Zuiko 24/2.8 is superb and 50/1.4 as good as older R glass. Nice retro look for film lovers.

2. Hasselblad 205 FCC for image quality in BW.

I have no Facebook account. Please add my my vote.

Thanks
