johnny.jolia Posted May 20, 2011 Share #61 Posted May 20, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) 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.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Hi johnny.jolia, Take a look here Which camera is or has been the true love of your life. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
siglo Posted May 23, 2011 Share #62 Posted May 23, 2011 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 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! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dent Posted May 23, 2011 Share #63 Posted May 23, 2011 1. M9 (for quality/weight ratio) 2. HaBla 203 on AgX (for IQ and image finger print) 3. Oly OM4TI (for genius zone system adaption and form factor) Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Verrips Posted May 23, 2011 Share #64 Posted May 23, 2011 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brt Posted May 23, 2011 Share #65 Posted May 23, 2011 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 brt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
