ike k Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Folks, Put aside all the features on the camera what is your choice of camera based on design that considered to be sexy? my pick and choices are Leica MP, Rollei TLRs 2.8/3.5F, Olympus E-1 and the upcoming Panasonic DMC-L1. But if I have to choose only one from the above mine would be the E-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agardner58 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Never really thought about cameras being sexy (but I guess it depends on who is holding them). But if I did, any of the Olympus OM series (1, 2, 3, or 4) in black. The OM4Ti is would probably be the sexiest of them all. Plus, they just feel nice! I guess you could say the Olympus Pen FT is pretty hot too. Not sexy? Busch Pressman (especially with a flash), Argus C3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gib Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 well, in context, I would suppose David Hemmings wielding a Nikon F in the movie BLOW UP probably set the initial standard. Veruschka helped out a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christopher_a._junker1 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Any camera that hung around Robert Capra's neck is sexy by association. Too bad we can't ask Ingrid Bergman, etc to validate the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan flanders Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 It's kinda silly attributing "sexy" qualities to a utilitarian tool such as a Leica, but since it's appropriate to answer a silly question with a silly answer, the black Leica II with a Summar would be my first choice. Then if a 6x6 is considered the simple practicality of the old Voigtlander "Superb" would blow the film out of any of the other TLR's.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_hovmand Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 It is a well known fact that cameras indeed can be very sexy! Especially the mechanical ones. But that will continue to be a secret among the people who know. One thing that some day soon WILL become well known at a general level is how sexy it is to combine digital SLRs with classical MF lenses. THINK ABOUT IT.

g-man1 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 The rangefinderforum did head to head competition/survey, recently. I think they came up with the MP and the M3. I personally like the M3 in chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with that, it's off to bed, praying not to have a erotic dream about a camera, and failing that, to merficully not remember it in the morning.

joe tarrant Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Rolleiflex. One with that double-cupped, black lens cover. That breathless moment as you uncover the two big lenses, that stare boldly back at you, daring you to use them as they deserve. Are you man enough....? ROFL....
