What camera would you reach for, just for the fun of using it?
For me its the Bessa R every time.

Bessa-T. My favorite by far right now. It is a hoot to shoot.

I put a CV 15mm on mine and can't take it off. What a great street and candid shooter!

My black Olympus OM-1.
Yes, it's an "Honorary Rangefinder" 🙂

Pentax A110... pity the labs around here nowadays do such an horrendous job with 110 films.

You know I agree.
They are all pretty ... But the OM-1 and M3 do win on the fun/fumbling
side for me ... So different and yet so similar.

since you asked for favorite camera, no contest, my new Hexar AF. I'm not sure what it is. Not a rangefinder, and much more than a point and shoot. But it IS a true joy for taking pictures.

to be honest...my bronica and yashica win everytime, even over the leica and the bessa...there's just something dreamy about medium format slides (and I just bought a whole load of velvia50 too)

For simple pleasure, my folding Agfa 6x9 camera. No rangefinder on that one.
For simplicity and that crappy camera glow, my Lex35. It has been lost somewhere, though, and that greatly saddens me. I'm going to get another one.
For a walk, my Kiev 4.

Zorki 3m is my favorite shooter. Close second, the Arax 60 and Arsat 30mm lens.

Right now it is the R-D1 with the 40mm Summicron-C. When my new Upstraps come in it could well be the Contax G1 with the 21mm/2.8 'cause I love the lens. Call me a wussy but I have more fun shooting when I don't have to do ALL the work - AF not necessary but AE is.

I feel the same way about the same two cameras.
But, in terms of "most fun" I think it might be my Rollei.
I carry a camera all of the time -- either my M3, my OM-1, or my LX2 -- and just take pictures whenever. (I will admit that lately I carry my OM-1 or the LX2 more often than the M3 simply because they weigh SO MUCH LESS... the M3 is like an anvil in my shoulder bag.)
When I am going out specifically to "do photography," though, I find that I usually reach for the Rolleiflex.

Right now, the Bessa R. That's partly because I'm still learning its foibles, and my ability to respond correctly to them. I also, however, REALLY enjoy my Canon 300D and any of the half-dozen lenses I have for it. Form follows function, eh? Of course, my Canon 10s SLR is lotsa fun, and my newly-acquired Vivitar 35S is tiny, auto-exposes, and produces nice negatives.
Sigh.....

Gray Baby Rolleiflex TLR just for fun (and good quality photos if I do my part),

My M2. Any other camera I buy ends up going into disrepair because my M2 is just that perfect.

For "Fun" I'll go with the Yashicamat 124g.
