Besides a Leica

I'm all over the place.

Lynx 14 for low light, as I can't afford a good, fast lens for the Leica.
XA4 and Retina IIIc as compact, easy to carry around cameras.
Zenobia for compact medium format.
SQ-A for wide angle medium format/landscape/etc.
Autocord for MF street photography
F4s for portraits, 85mm 1.8, times I have to get it right (doesn't get as much use as it deserves)
Canonet 17 GIII/Olympus 35RD for quick street photography when I want auto exposure.
D70s for working with strobes (often to nail settings before switching to an MF camera)

Edit: The best way to collapse some of this down for me would be a CLE with a variety of glass. Unfortunately that would be much more expensive and harder to replace if it was broken/stolen/lost than my collection of more specialized/less capable cameras.

For work, I prefer my Nikon D2H as what I shoot is 95% for the web...but for a digital, I really prefer it over my D-300! I also have an old D-100. My film camera's are: Korona Panoramic 8x20, Deardorff 8x10(have a 4x5 reducing back also), Hasselblad 500CM, Nikon F, and I recently got a Contax G2. I shoot only B&W in the views, but am without a darkroom at the moment, so I am shooting Ektar in the Contax and really enjoying using it! I have been almost exclusively digital for about 5 years, and am having a blast with film in the Contax! Have the film "develop only" & put on CD at Sam's for less than $4.00! I also have a scanner for higher rez scans. I plan on printing the color on an inkjet that I've yet to purchase...
 
beside my M7 i mainly use a nikon FM2 (with 50mm AIS 1,4) because small, easy to work and min. focus around 30 cm, which i s good for details. Or I use my Bessa R when shooting in a "risky" situation. Sometimes the Rolleiflex, fun to use.

No one else using a Baby 127 Rolleiflex? Talk about a fun camera!

One film - EFKE 100. That's it.


I do have a Century Graphic 2x3 that I'm having set up when I get back from Iraq next month. I've got a bunch of 120 Verichome Pan in the freezer just for it and the Cambo 23F.

And there are always my Contaflexes - I do like the 50mm f/2.8 Tessar. I will use it for my last roll of Kodachrome in November.
 
I have two leica m9s and a range of leica lenses I shoot with canon dslr mk 1v and a 7d and a 5d mk11. I also have a contax 645 system that I dream of getting a digital back for.
 
I find the Olympus E-PL1 (with the EVF) to be a near-perfect companion for my M8. I use it for the odd wide-angle shot with the 150g 9-18mm (18-36 equiv), as a 2x tele-converter for my M lenses with an adapter, as well as with the 20/1.7 pancake for the times when I want to go really small. Though to be fair, the M8 with an 28mm (with roughly the same angle of view as the Oly/20mm combo) just blows me away right now, so that latter combination hasn't seen much use since I got the Leica.
 
try to have my M6 with at all times. But the Iphone 4 is with ALL the time and the pictures are amazing. I also carry a Ricoh GX-200 often. Small, light, 25-75mm zoom, excellent quality digital at low ISOs and quite serviceable at higher ISOs with Noise Ninja. Then there is those wonderful film Nikon SLR's, too many to mention.
 
I use anything that can take a picture really. I use a Canon EOS 5 and a Zenit 12XP when i plan to go on a photo-shoot, when i want a medium format i go for the Ikoflex Ib (and sometimes for the Nettar 516/18), i have a Samsung ECX-1 always in my car and one Olympus Stylus infnity in one jacket and a Nikon L35AF in my coat.
Lately I started using a Minolta 500si and I am looking for an excuse to start using my Ricoh 500G again....
