There are some cameras that have "cult" status and following. What are they?
I can think of one at the moment:
Konica Hexar AF.
What else do you think belongs on a "cult cameras" list?

I think the Canonet 17 QL III has assumed cult status. Seemingly the Yashica 124 MAT G as well. Leicas in general have (putting on my flame suit as I run to the shelter).
I guess a definition of cult status would help define others or not. Some might consider the 35mm FSU cameras that way, but I am not so sure that fits just yet, popular as they may be.

Most Leica Ms. Ricoh GR1. Leica Digilux 2.

Interesting post. Initial thoughts....
Update: can't determine whether a highly collectible camera is the same as a cult camera. If so:
Agfa Automatic 66
Ensign Autorange 620.
Leica IIIg
- Nikon SP - It's Nikon and a rangefinder.
- Alpa 6 (but really any Alpa reflex)
- Canon Canonet QL17 GIII
- Olympus Pen
- Apple Iphone (just kidding...sort of)

I would almost consider the Mamiya SD users to be a "cult", as there aren't too many of them, but those who use them regularly are very attached to them.

My first thought is of the Diana/Holga 120.
On second thought, I come up with a list of cameras that might not be 'cult', but were commercially unsuccessful (whatever that means) but have a strong following:
This whole forum, depending on the point of view, could be about 'cult' cameras.

Anything by Gandolfi (which is understandable) and anything by Deardorff (which isn't).
Anything by Alpa, ancient or modern.
Olympus Pen W and Pen F series (nothing else by Olympus is really cult, unless you include the inexplicably popular OM series).
Cheers,
