How many camera do you use?

[rolleistef]

I've seen that poll asking how many cameras you had, but the question is : how many cameras do you use? Do you change from time to time? etc.

 

[oscroft]

I've got about 18-20 cameras that I use - about 7 or 8 of those regularly

 

[pvdhaar]

As in actually use.. two. One DSLR for tele/macro, one RF for all the rest..

 

[mcgrattan]

I don't know how many cameras I have, actually. More than 10, less than 20.

But I only regularly use about 5. 1 x LTM rangefinder [was a Zorki 2C, now a Leica IIIc], 1 x dSLR [Samsung GX10], 1 x Olympus mju II, and a couple of medium format cameras [Salyut-C and Fuji GS645S].

I'm selling off almost all the cameras I don't use as part of a ruthless clearout. The plan is to get to down to those 5 plus a spare LTM and spare K-mount body.

 

[David Goldfarb]

Eleven I think, but I checked 5-10, because I forgot one. From smallest to largest format--

Nikon Coolpix 990
Canon New F-1
Voigtlander Perkeo II
Bronica S2a
Linhof Tech V 23b
Linhof Tech V 4x5"
5x7" Press Graflex
8x10" Gowland Pocket View
8x10" Sinar P
7x17" Korona
11x14" American Optical

I use them all.

 

[Paul K]

I have 5 and I use them all. Which one depends on what I want to shoot and what mood I am in : RF, SLR, MF.

 

[Harry S.]

I use an M6 and 500c/m regularly. As I am still waiting for my light meter to come in the mail, I am having to use one of my Canon DSLRs to approximate the metering for the Hassy.

So regulary I use 2 out of the 7 cameras I own. Im toying with the Idea of selling all my Canon EF gear and going purely with film.

 

[pesphoto]

Im lucky to have one working camera at a time so I'll say 1, 2 at the most

 

[sepiareverb]

I regularly shoot two M7's, an MP, an MP3 and a T2, with an M5 and a Hasselblad 500C/M less often. Still pull out the 810 every once in a while too.

 

[eia41]

Mostly (and regularly) I use the following 3 cameras:

- M6 and Bessa R2a with Leitz 28mm/f2.8 - 35mm/f2 - 50mm/f2 -and rarely- 90mm/f2.8 lenses.

- Nikon FE with Nikkor 35-70mm/f3.3-4.5 an amazingly handy and optically excellent zoom lens.

Across what period of time?

Many weeks: 1 (not always the same one)

Most months: 2-3 (not always the same 2-3)

Across a year: normally 10-20 at least.

Cheers,

R.

Eight of the little buggars...

1. Leica M6 TTL
2. Leica M2
3. CV Bessa T
4. CV Bessa R2A
5. Nikon FM3A
6. Nikonos V
7. Fujifilm Klasse W
8. Mamiya 7II

All used from time to time but the M2 and Fuji Klasse W are the main ones...

 

[Windscale]

I do have about 10 cameras. About 3-5 get used at any one time (that is, being taken out at the same time).

 

[newspaperguy]

10-to-12 working well, but only 3 0r 4 see regular use.

(Shame on me.)

 

[RF-Addict]

On a regular basis I use:

- Bessa R2A
- Contax G2
- Nikon F100
- Canon 5D
- Canon 40D (for birding)
- Canon G9
- Fuji G645zi
- Canham DLC45
- Wehman 8x10
- Nikon Coolpix converted for IR

In addition I have a number of older Nikon SLRs that I use at least every other month to give them some exercise

 

[dazedgonebye]

I regularly use:
Zorki-6 (recently replaced my Fed-2)
R3-A
Hexar-AF
Pentax 6x7

 

[Maxapple88]

I use them all, be it SLR, DSLR, RF or TLR

 

[urban_alchemist]

God knows how many cameras I have, but there are five I find myself using regularly.

In order of usage:

Leica MP
Minolta TC-1
Leica MP-3
Ricoh GR-DII
Leica M7

 

[corazon]

I very happily account for the 2.13%.

I stopped using my Canon Elan 7 a long time ago, which is why I bought the Leica M4-P.

One for me

 

[minoltist7]

I use 2 SLR (digital and film), and 2 RF (35mm and 6x6)
Really I have 6 or 7 cameras, but other are no longer used
