What film camera are you using most often?

<p>I think I'll be the 100th respondent, Leica M6.</p>

<p>Hey guys, I will alway's take my twins with me wherever I go ! They are my beauties Olympus OM-4 & OM4T, accompanied with their truckload of toys, OEM Oly lenses. We can cover just about anything we need too.</p>

<p>So many wonderful cameras mentioned...</p>

<p>After a service, a unique & fun camera that I'm quite fond of for several reasons:</p>

<ul>

<li>It's got a dynamite 35mm f/2.8 lens <strong>!</strong> (My favorite focal length)</li>

<li><em><strong>"Load film"</strong></em> (Spoken with an accent)</li>

<li><em><strong>"Too dahk, use frash!"</strong></em> (Spoken with a heavy accent)</li>

<li><em><strong>"Check distance"</strong></em> (Spoken with an accent)</li>

<li>Put the little on-off switch in the middle, & it speaks Japanese<strong>!</strong> (It's actully the voice of the daughter of then Minolta CEO)</li>

<li><strong>What a conversation piece !</strong></li>

</ul><div></div>

<p>It's my Leica Ms, mostly M6, but occasionally, M4, M5 and M7, using most often, Zeiss ZM Biogon lenses.</p>

<p>Hasselblad 501CM with 60mm, 100mm and 180mm Zeiss lenses. Usually shoot black and white. If we are talking 35mm then my Leica R8 and 35-70mm zoom!</p>

<p>Voigtlander Perkeo II</p>

<p>Ha!Thanks for showing the Minolta Talker, Gus. I'm going to have to dig mine out now and run a roll through her. A most excellent lens on that one.</p>

<p>5 days and you got 11 pages of responses for this thread? Did anyone ask why?<br>

Don't flame me. I've got 10 film cameras and I can't find a reason to use them over the last 3 years.</p>

<p>Do I win an M9 for my "most-responded-to thread?"</p><div></div>

<p>"Film" camera? God forbid ...</p><div></div>

M6, M3, Xpan, 501CM in that order..

<p>Love My Leica M2 with a 50 summilux pre-asph type I (the very first summilux), ready to go with a Trix400, also love the Rollei Retro 100 (agfa APX 100). really vintage stuff, Got love the looks!</p>

<p>The ones that I use the most are probably Olympus XA, Olympus Trip 35, Canon AE1, Minolta SRT101b and the handy Minox 35 EL, but switching cameras is a lot of fun.</p>

<p>Leica MP followed by M2 and then Nikon F6. All great cameras!</p>

<p>Most used in order:<br>

Leica MP<br>

Hasselblad 503CW<br>

Fuji GSW690111<br>

Fuji GX617</p>

<p>Yashica GTN with Neopan 400 - finally got this guys rangefinder calibrated, and it is hard to believe how the relatively primitive technology of this camera translates into inexplicably excellent photographs..</p>

 

<p>A Leica MP with a 35 mm Summicron mostly, with a Canon EOS IV and the 24-105mm f/4L used on occasion.</p>

<p>50% Hasselblad 500C & ELM and several others for the rest, including Leica M3, Minolta X-300, Nikon F100 and Linhof Technika III 4x5.</p>

<p>Nikon F with the least expensive manual focus Nikkors: 28/3.5, 50/2 and 135/3.5. Picked up the lenses on that auction site for a grand total of $66! I have always had the higher end Nikkors and wanted to try these low cost lenses. BTW the results are great. Having a lot of fun using these lenses. </p>

<p>I go back and forth between M3 and MP, and often a IIIf</p><div></div>

<p>1928 Kodak 2D (5x7) -- 6" Dagor, 10" Caltar, 15" Tele-Raptar. Ilford FP5 in ABC Pyro. <br>

All my 35mm goodies -- Leicas (M3, M6, II, IIIf, IIIg), Pentaxe (LXs, ME Super), Zeiss Contax IIa, etc, etc, etc ($$$) -- are still the greatest for fondling, but otherwise are no longer are in active service. Maybe -- if they still made Kodachrome II...?</p>
