how many cameras do you use regularly?

[jaredangle]

Nikon D700 2-3 times weekly for portraits in and out of the studio, and photojournalism. Nikon F4 is frequently my daily carry for black and white artistic photographs and portraits with a 50mm. F100 and Contax G1 for street.

I voted 6-10...I regularly use about eight...No need to list them, I know what they are...

I have a small collection of cameras (mostly evil SLRs) rescued from charity shops and I like to use them all until I find a problem. I try and rotate them but the non charity shop cameras get priority.

Bought new:
Yashica FX-3
Canon A-1
Nikon D70
Nikon D200

Bought Used:
Nikon F4
Minolta XD7
Rolleicord Va
Nikkormat FTn

Charity Shop rescue cases:
Minolta XG-1
Olympus OM10
Pentax ME-Super
Pentax P30t
Praktica MTL5B
Konica Autoreflex TC
Olympus Mju-II

Given to me:
Zorki 4K
Zenith E (was my Dad's)
Nikon F65 (was my Dad's)
Nikon FM10 (from my brother-in-law in China)

Needing fixed:
Canon FTb (used, prism desilvering)
Minolta X300 (charity, shutter capping)
Olympus OM40 (charity, shutter speeds way off !)
Miranda EE2 (charity, wind on/shutter broken)

Currently loaded with HP5+ is the OM10.

I use max 2 cameras on daily basis, but monthly sometimes 3-5 cameras changing one to the other. The reason is also I think it's not good for the camera's mechanical parts if we don't use it at all. That's why I try to use several cameras.

 

[mfunnell]

Most used:

2xHexar RFs in rotation
Leica M3
Canon 5D (original)
Canon 50D
Canon 30D
Canon Ixus 80IS
Nikon FM3a
Olympus mju-II (aka Stylus Epic)

I hope to use more fequently:

Olympus OM-4T (an old friend, recently neglected)
Rolleicord Vb (new to me)
Canon New F1 (if I like it)

I use three regularly, and a fourth occasionally.

 

[Shane]

3. Although I'm trying to get that down to two.

 

[Calzone]

All my gear gets used regularly, except the Bolex and the Voightlander Bessa I which my dad gave me.

It seems I exercise my cameras so much, and because I often carry two cameras, I put on about 5 -7 pounds of muscle and an inch on my chest.

I kinda shoot every day BTW.

[al1966]

Fuji GS645s for my main project
Olympus EP-1 for my second project and mindless city walking (Panasonic 14-45)
An EPL=1 with a 35mm for indoors lower light and when Im not in a zoom mood
A Ricoh GX100 nice 24mm and the step zoom is something I wish the other zooms had or at least a way of click stops
For day to day I use either a Prinz 35e or Olympus Mju1 nice and light and full frame to boot

 

[Renzsu]

Two.. M6 and M8.. I use them more than my iphone haha. M6 is for when I shoot in nice conditions and for trips when I want to get home with something a bit more special. M8 for more day to day shooting.

 

[Out to Lunch]

I use about 157 cameras every day but they have one thing in common: they all have HCB engraved on their top plates.

I can not imagine how it should be technically possible to use more than 2 or 3 cameras regularly. If I use a camera once a month or less I probably would say so.

I use regularly Mamiya 6 and semi-regularly some 35mm film camera I own at given time. DSLR and 4x5" get less use - a pity in particular with the 4x5".

 

[pvdhaar]

First option. I don't even have more than 5 cameras overall. Three see very frequent use (a NEX-3, an Oly-XA2, and a Nikon-D90). The other two (a Nikon F65 and a Bessa-T) are used intermittently..

 

[Griffin]

Bessa R2
Pentax MX
D-lux 4
Olympus Trip in the glovebox

 

[Damaso]

I have three M cameras plus my mobile phone camera that I use regularly. I have a bunch of others but they spend most of their time just looking pretty...
