What is your most used camera?

[Krosya]

Hi all,
Well there have been all kinds of threads - best 50mm lens, best 35mm lens, etc. Well, as I see in many people's signatures, most of us have more than one camera. Many different Leicas, as well as other cameras. So, which one you use the most and why? Is it RF camera? Is it Leica? Why this and not the other? I realize that some are for different things - at times you need MF or SLR or whatever else. But even people that have several Leicas - what's your most used one and why?
Cheers.
K.

Leica Minilux because I've always got it with me. Even popping into the supermarket it's there.

Right now I have three, For digital my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20, SLR minolta SRT 101, Rangefinder Black Bessa R with a Black Jupiter 8, all three in the bag with me.

Probably the M3, over the Canon, because I don't have a good wildlife lens for it and the landscape possibilities around here are dull this time of year. And the Leica is just sweet to use.

My Bessa R3M is my carry-everywhere camera. However, I have shot the most frames with my Canon 30D. (probably because I have only had the Bessa a few months) I use my R3M for my personal work and my 30D for "professional" work.

Contax II, 35mm post-war Biogon. I usually carry it every day to work in my briefcase.

In 1999, I started using a rangefinder camera and didn't look back. I enjoyed the SLRs that helped teach me how to see photographically up to that point. I had stopped shooting seriously for a time before then. I was inspired when I saw the Mamiya 7, and knew that's it! Large negative, great lens, and lots to shoot. With the large investment in this camera, I couldn't buy anything else--and didn't need to. Still shooting with it today. I'm very tempted with the other rangefinder cameras introduced since then, but realize I need to be thrifty and save money for printing.

At the moment, I use my Bessa-R the most. That could change, I just had Steve's Camera CLA my IIIf. I want to use it, but I just like that on board meter (Bessa-R).

My EOS 20d - followed by my Leica M3 followed by my Voigtlander R3M

R2 for the fast lens changes
When the R4M arrives the R will go away

Lately, my toss-in-the-car (breifcase, jacket pocket) Leica M4-P. It is remarkably reliable and rugged...really. 😉

🙂

Right now, I'd honestly say my Olympus XA. It goes in my jacket pocket where ever I go lately.

Canonett QL17 GIII - I can beat it to heck and it still keeps clicking!

 

[JoeFriday]

Contax T.. same as the guys with the XA's and Minilux's.. it's small enough to always have handy.. and with the hyperfocal markings and the sharp Zeiss optics, it's hard to take a bad photo

 

[VictorM.]

Rolleiflex 3.5E gets the most day to day use. I've also begun using my IIIf more than I have for a while.

 

[onespeed]

it's a toss up between my m3 cron' combo and my yashica gt

Minolta CLE... It’s very compact, innocent and unassuming in appearance, takes M-mount lenses, gracefully handles two of my favorite focal lengths (40 & 28), has AE, and works very well. It’s very easy to have over my shoulder, and when called on to perform, it does the job beautifully. Because it’s a favorite since new, it is most used.

Also a favorite and frequently used is the much newer Bronica RF645. It’s surprisingly discreet too, and quiet, fast to use, and the lenses have about the same fields of view as the 40 & 28 on the Minolta. It has other similarities to the Minolta with its AE and fine RF.

M4

Followed by an M2 and M7.

Fujifilm F10. Very small, very quick, and reasonable shots at iso 1600 when needed.
