If you could have any camera system in the world...

[Penguin_101]

what would it be?
And I mean system by every lens and I guess we will limit it to one body. You cannot sell it and take the cash to buy something else 😉

It can be any kind (SLR, Rangefinder, Large Format, ect) and no one will be mad if you don't choose rangefinder. 😉

 

[JoeFriday]

I'd want whatever Todd.Hanz is using.. cuz it's incapable of taking bad pictures

 

[FrankS]

Oh, man! Rolleiflex SLR, Hasselblad, Linhoff, Leica. Not necessarily in that order.

Easy... Leica MP 0.58x body, 50/2 'cron, 30/1.4 'lux, Voigtlaender 28/3.5... and plenty of Tri-X.
Cheers

Having infinite choices is the worst possible situation ! :bang:

<My favorite color is ... blue. ... nnNO ! Red ! AAAAAAaaaaaargh !!!>

You know, that kind of situation.

Ok ok, black Nikon SP with 50/1.4 and 35/1.8 🙄

 

[eric]

what would it be?

Fuji 6x17. I rented one once. It was a BAD ASS street shooting camera. It even comes with a roll cage for the lens.

 

[wlewisiii]

One body and all it's lenses? Linhof Master Technika Classic w/ handgrip and RF coupling on all those lenses. Plus my 127/4.7 Ektar & 5x8 B&L Tessar mounted in new Copal shutters, on Linhof lens boards and RF coupled.

Oh and a lifetime supply of Fomapan, Tri-X & Diafine.

Yes, like for example if you wanted to go with a Canon FD SLR system you could get the AE-1 and all of the FD lenses ever made. (I used that as an example because everyone pretty much knows the FD system)

 

[Byuphoto]

Hassleblad 500 and all lenses

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

Let's see...

Leica M4, MP, M6 classic (the last two black) with all M lenses available.
Hasselblad 503CX with all lenses available and at least 10 120 backs (that won't skip any frames or any misalignments)
Voigtlaender Prominent with Nokton (das deustche versionen)
Canon 5D with all Canon EF primes, and the 70-200 f/2.8 L

Hmmm, what else? Oh yeah, and the Canon Demi EE 17

that's just to keep me occupied for a long while... 😉

 

[Honu-Hugger]

An Alpa 8b (then I can still frequent the RFF 😀) and as many lenses as I can lay my hands on!!!

 

[Honu-Hugger]

Or a Contax IIa and all the lenses I can find...

 

[Kim Coxon]

I already have the body. Just need those super fast super expesive lenses, the Pentax LX

[CleverName]

I'd go for a medium format rangefinder like one of the Fuji 645s.


OT: Taffer, what is the air speed of an unladen swallow?

 

[Doug]

ONE body, Gabriel! 😀

Makes it a really tough choice doesn't it. One camera for all uses... has to be a compromise of quality and carryability. I'd go with a Pentax 67II except for the carryability part. Giving up lens flexibility and closeups is tough too, but for a one body system I guess I'll choose the Bronica RF645.

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

ONE body, Gabriel! 😀

😛 --- Hey! It says "system". I didn't read anything about "any one camera body".

Brutus correctionem: yes it does :bang: :bang:

I stand by my "system" choice 😀
