Which RF camera members use?

[MV72]

Konica Hexar RF for ease of use with 28 mm or 50 mm
Canon P with 50 mm
Leica IIIa with 35 mm

I bet you put a lot of people off by not including Yashica or XA...

Probably some poll entries lost by concentrating on interchangeable-lens RFs. Minolta CLE is missing too, which has been my fav at times. And no FSU gear on the list. I notice that of the list categories, I'm missing only the LTM Leica, Epson, and Canon; I own samples of the rest and I like them all. Most have been favorites at one time or another, except the early Contax (and Kievs), and Nikon which are cool but not so comfortable to use. I voted Digital Leica, since currently I'm exploring how the M8 may be "me". 🙂

My pair of Hexar RFs have been my mainstay for nearly eight years now. This year they were joined by a Leica M2, which makes for a merry and solid trio. Too bad I could only choose one in the poll, but the Hexen got the nod for this.

Hi folks,

I added a second poll for the ones who could not find their RFs in this list. Please continue and see the poll:

The top two rf's I shoot with are my Bessa R & Canonet GIII.

My Hexar RFs get most of the work when I'm doing "serious" shooting. However, my M3 (usually with Elmar-M 50/2.8) is the one I carry with me. So what does "most frequently used" mean here? Most frames taken or most days used? I went with the latter in my vote...

Mike: Like I said, had we the choice of picking at least two cameras, I'd have put the M2 up there. Alas. 🙂

Canon P and Leica M6 are being used the most these days, but I am also using the Standard Leica and the Hexar RF.

 

[jtzordon]

Canon P with a 50, Bessa R with a 35, and a Bronica RF waiting in the wings for the occasional shoot until the 35mm project winds down.

 

[jtzordon]

Oh, and a Baby Speed, but I don't tend to use the RF on it.

 

[Papa Smurf]

Too many choices!

Too many choices!

I voted for Contax G1 because that is what I did use 90% of the time. These days I am shooting an ongoing assignment for a log home salesman and I am not confident of my composition with any RF (parallax trips me up every time 😡) so I am using two evil SLR's, a Canon A-1 and a Minolta 600SI. My Contax is actually for sale as I am reducing my kit and it and several others will be replaced by a Canon L1 that I have had for a while , but will need a CLA before I can start using it for "good" pictures. When finances permit, I want to acquire a Canon P and a few Canon RF lenses to compliment the L1 with a Jupiter 8 and 12.

Happy shooting with whatever you use! 😀

I would have said Minolte Cle, but alas I do not find it in the poll.

 

[bobkonos]

I use film Leica M, LTM Leicas, Cosina Voigtlander Bessa cameras, Canon RF, and Nikon RF. My favorite? The one I select.

🙂 I can understand...

It is my mistake that I did not include multiple selection.

 

[Al Patterson]

Canon QL17 GIII, Canon P, Leica CL, and Yashica GSN. I've been using the GSN the most, but it wasn't in the poll.

 

[je2a3]

I chose early LTM because I almost always have a Barnack with me. But for indoor events/low light situations I use either an M3, M6 or Bessa-R.

 

[Marc-A.]

Well, since I kept only the ZI and my my M and SM Leica, I have no choice but pick the Zeiss Ikon. But I have to say that it's a wonderful camera and I chose to keep it over the M2 which is an outstanding camera too. The reason is the large VF of the ZI and it's lightness. However I miss the M2, but I miss the Leica III more, because it's so tiny and reliable for street photography. I guess it's one of my next purchases.

 

[btgc]

With fixed lens RF plankton I'm below mark set by OP.

 

[LeicaFoReVer]

Canon QL17 GIII, Canon P, Leica CL, and Yashica GSN. I've been using the GSN the most, but it wasn't in the poll.

There is a second thread I creating including those yashica and minolta. Please visit and vote there.
