<p>My old standby has always been the Nikon F3 with MD4 motor. Lately, I've also been shooting a fair amount with my M7 - a new acquisition, so I'm still "lens deficient" for it.<br>

Correcting M lens deficiency is highly expensive!</p>

<p>A few older cameras have come back from repair, so they are getting their test rolls done:</p>

<p>Aires III and IIIL from Clarance Gass,</p>

<p>Rolleiflex 3.5F from Harry Fleenor,</p>

<p>Zeiss Super Ikonta BX, C, and Contessa by Henry Scherer.</p>

<p>I'm still waiting for Don Goldberg to return some LTM items (IIIG, IIF and LTM lenses) as well as Gus Lazzari, who is overhauling a couple of 35mm Leica lenses for me. Those are the 35 3.5 Summaron, and an 8-element Summicron.</p>

<p>For testing purposes, I have a bunch of 120 format Fuji Pro 800 lying around. When I get serious, I use Ektar 100 in 35mm and 120. Also, I have Provia 100 and 400 in 35mm and 120. For 120 negative film I prefer Wal-mart developing, as it works out to less than $2 (Yes, TWO DOLLARS) a roll with 3 inch prints.</p>

<p>Olympus OM-1,-2, . . . Nikon F, FE-2, FM3a, FA, F3, Nikon EL2, Nikkormat, etc. But lately, I mostly loading B&W to the "F" and challenge myself, working without light-meter. I love my Nikon F (plain prism), and I like mechanical cameras. For me, the Olympus OM-1 & -2 are a wonder, precious Swiss watch.</p>
