How many camera do you use?

[imush]

A Bessa R2M with a couple of CV lenses, and a Voigtlander Vitessa with Ultron 50/2.

 

[Tuna]

My answer is two though it is always changing as to which two.

 

[Ming The Merciless]

Contax RX
Contax Aria
Hexar AF
Bessa R
Olympus E620
Canon SD1000 (these last two days)

 

[Mablo]

Gosh... I regularly use my Canon P and the newcomer Canon IV-Sb which is my dedicated wide angle platform. My trusty Rolleicord V also gets a lot of work periodically. Then I have my 'winter camera' the Nikon FM2n which I guess would be the last one that I'd keep if I had to sell all of my stuff. My Oly RC, RD and Trip are naturally with me when I'm traveling light. Last but not least the one and only Yashica G* which everyone who loves rangefinders should have. I think it is seven that I use and some more I don't.

 

[coelacanth]

I have 15-18 cameras (SLR, RF, non-RF, p&s, polaroid, MF, digital, not sure exact #), and 10-11 of them get used time to time. About 5 or 6 of them get out with me for a weekend shoot (M6, OM-1, SX-70, Yashica-D + a couple more). 1 of them will be with me as the daily shooter of the day (M6, OM-1 or Rollei 35).

 

[Schlapp]

Mainly I use the;
KOWA 6
Zorki 6
Hassleblad
Minolta505
Spotmatic
Kiev4
FKD 13x18
AgfaAnsco8x10
Perkeo I
Agfa Record 6x9
Bessa 6x9

but I do use others as well - when I have time

 

[Olsen]

That's nothing...:

Hasselblad 500C/M (w/3 C-lenses)
Hasselblad 203FE (w/3 FE lenses)
Hasselblad SWC 905
Hasselblad Archbody (w/1 Rodestock lens)
Canon EF
Canon A1 (w/4 AL lenses)
Canon EOS3 (w/9 EF lenses)
Canon 1Ds III (I am glad I sold the I and the II)
Leica MP (Just sold my ZI)
Leica M8 (it will be traded for a M9)
Edixa (w/1 Rodenstock lens)
Plus a card board box full of old cameras bought for peanuts at flea markets.

Today I regularly use two: The 1Ds III and the M8. I did shoot some film through my Leica MP and ZI this summer. I found it disappointing. Shooting film, then MF is the thing. I just might take my Archbody and SWC for a spin this automn.

 

[mrisney]

Lumix GH1, and Mamiya 6

 

[mdspace]

My actual cameras:
- Bessa R2 olive
- Bessa R2M (Jahre 250)
- R-D1s

I also have a Holga with 35mm adapter, SMENA8, and two plastic model cameras that never used.

I sold my old equipment to complete my actual set. I used to have a Nikon FM, Canon EOS 620 and Pentax SF1n

 

[David Hughes]

All of them. If you don't use them they seize up. Anyway, photography is better than dusting...

Wish I used more:
Kodak retina II xenon 2.0

Macro lenses, tilt & shift, bellows, and bellows lenses usage not included.

About 7 rf cameras, 9 SLR cameras, 5 50mm rf lenses, 6 very good Canon brand SLR primes, 5 SLR zooms, and 7 very good Tak SLR primes that I never use!

 

[fuwen]

I use a pair of RF (35RF and R4M) and a pair of SLR (Aria and 159MM/RTS II/RTSIII) but mainly because of the need to switch between ASA 100 and 400. In those days I was using Rolleiflex SL2000F I need only 1 body as it has interchangeable magazine like medium format.

The 5th body I use (but rarely nowadays) is the Rolleiflex SL66E for medium format.

 

[hamradio]

I regularly use:

Minolta srt202
Canon ql17 GIII
Yashica Electro GSN
Nikon d80


Interestingly enough, the d80 is most recently purchased (within the last month) and least used. I had the srt202, GIII and d80 in a backpack last weekend...I shot three rolls in the GIII, one roll in the srt, and a total of four shots on the d80. I'm not as thrilled with the d80 as I had previously anticipated.

 

[mawz]

In order of the most use:

Bessa R
Panasonic G1
Nikon F2a
Pentax K2
Nikon FM2n
Nikon F801s
Pentax ZX-m
Mamiya 645 Super
Nikon FE2

There's a couple others that might see a roll a year or so.

 

[chrishayton]

I have afew cameras but really only use (in amount of usage)

1.Leica M4-p
2. Canon 40d.
3. Nokia camera phone
4. Ricoh GR1

 

[stephenseanmclaren]

I have tried using multiple cameras but I can only use one at a time ..... Does any one else have a similare experience??

 

[Mablo]

I always use one camera at the time. I'm shooting 99% b&w so I don't see much advantage carrying more than one at the time.

 

[PwoS]

This remembers me of a cartoon I once saw, picturing a guy holding a pint of beer in each of his hands. It was underwritten: "I've got a drinking problem. Two hands, but only one mouth."

I must admit that I have similar problem when it comes to cameras. So I never use more than two cameras at a time, most of the time only one. Nonetheless I ticked the 5-10 camera option in the poll, since I use to choose from a varying pool of cameras including (but not limited to):

Nikon D70,
Voigtländer Vitessa AF,
Voigtländer VSL-3E,
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX9,
Voigtländer Vitoret 73,
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1,
Voigtländer Perkeo E
Leica M4,
Leica M2,
Panasonic C-500AF
Nikon N90s,
Minolta Vectis S1
Leica R4,
Voigtländer Vito CS
Rolleiflex 2,8F
Rolleiflex 2000F motor

Oops, that makes more than ten.
But only the first nine of them have been on active service in 2009 so far.

 

[dng88]

I rotate them but it is a bit too many cameras; still if one takes different formats for different purpose, perhaps 10+ is not that much.

 

[GoneSavage]

I've been trying to cut out all the camera gear I don't use. Right now I'm down to:

1. Zeiss Ikon
2. Pentax LX
3. Hexar AF
4. Mamiya c330 f
5. Lomo LCA
6. Pentax K-7
