One camera and lens

[lachaine]

<p>What I have now... and it's already all I have, if you don't count the old Nikkormat and pre-Ai lenses which I may actually sell because I never use them now.</p>

<p>I take a lot of pictures with that one camera. It's nothing very impressive, so I won't say what it is.</p>

<p>A Kodak Medalist I with the dread Supermatic shutter. Why? The aggravation of re-spooling 120 onto 620 spools for a camera which plainly is big enough to just use the 120s, the sense of frustration with the bad shutter and all the mechanical linkages designed to make you miss all possible shots, the Ektar lens which everyone tells me is superb but I wouldn't know since I've never seen one with intact coatings, the unnecessary weight and poor balance.... would motivate me to re-acquire all the gear I'd lost in whatever catastrophe started off the 'single camera' thread.</p>

<p>Failing that, M2 & Summicron 50</p>

Sure, I have lots of other film cameras but this is my favorite 'always have with me' camera, even if I have to wait a month to finish a 36 exposure cartridge, about 76 shots if I load carefully.</p>

Olympus Pen is something I always wanted to have!

I'll take two supermodels and no cameras :-P

<p>Canon F1N- AE with Canon FD 35mm f2 lens</p>

<p>50D,70-200.</p>

<p>I would need two lenses but they would be joined together on a Rolleiflex or a Rolleicord.</p>

<p>My Rolleicord V is the one camera I would choose if I could keep only one of my thirty cameras.</p>

<p>I have a Crown Graphic with a 165mm Rodenstock, a Nikon L22 (entry-level point-and-shoot digital), an F2, and an F. For months I've been shooting the F with an equally ancient Nikkor 50mm f2 lens, and TMZ. It feels like a descent into barbarism, but still feels right because I'm once again thinking about little more than exposure and composition.<br>

Our interest in equipment says to me that we feel our photography substantially through the equipment we use. That's not wrong. The perennial insistence that it's the outcome that matters may not be entirely correct.</p>
