FrozenInTime Posted August 16, 2013 Share #142 Posted August 16, 2013 Hasselblad 501c with 80mm. I tried a SWC and lots of other lenses with as well as a 203FE, but all distracted too much from the simple over the shoulder minimalism of the 500 series,WLF and 80mm so I've sold up and moved back to my that. The Ricoh GR series is also equally a constant companion with each model adding just a bit more polish to a great design. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffrypittman Posted August 18, 2013 Share #144 Posted August 18, 2013 Tie between my Rollei 2.8 F and Nikon F6. Love the Rollei for simply taking great pics with that planar lens and 120 film. The F6 is a technological marvel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZPhotog Posted August 18, 2013 Share #145 Posted August 18, 2013 Hi everyone, my first post, new to the forum and excited and honored to be here with other Leica enthusiasts. Nikon FM3A, has a unique finder that does not black out with stopping-down of lenses, plus mechanically it is one of the finest 35mm film cameras ever made. Kodak Pony 135, my dads camera that I learned on (camera died in 1969 from old age.) Canon A-1, a breakthrough in computer control photography. Canon EF, a unique combination of electronic and manual function. Pretty much I like 35mm film cameras in general.

Simon Bee Posted August 18, 2013 Share #146 Posted August 18, 2013 Without doubt my Rolleiflex 2.8 GX, just sublime ( Shown along with a couple of Olympus ep-1 since sold. ) Followed by my FM3A outfit with "pre Ai" Nikkors all factory converted to "Ai" . However it's the Leica M's that get the most use Simon Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

gberger Posted August 18, 2013 Share #147 Posted August 18, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) leicanut2 I also learned on the Argus 3c, but in 1940. I kept it until getting a IIIc in 1945. It was a brick! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicanut2 Posted August 19, 2013 Share #148 Posted August 19, 2013 leicanut2 I also learned on the Argus 3c, but in 1940. I kept it until getting a IIIc in 1945. It was a brick! It was a fun camera used it and a light meter I even took it on a 6,000 mile cross country Harley ride in 1975. The bike should have shaken the camera to bits but it survived. I really think the C3 made 35 photography popular in the early 40 and 50's in the USA. I though I was the only one that used one. Cheers My Dads argus was 1951 vintage.

It is the most reliable piece of equipment of any description that I've ever owned, period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dearly, DEARLY miss the Contax bodies I've used for 10 years and then sold in 2007 (bad choice, but I'm not rich and I wanted a 5D mk I): - Contax RX (fantastic camera, especially from an ergonomic standpoint - Contax 139Q (so simple and well designed) The results with Zeiss prime lenses and Velvia were so 3D and beautiful...
