Is that a CAMERA in your pocket?

[Andrew Howes]

I dont really count my phone but I could take a simple record photo with it if I wanted to. I am either out on an errand and would not usually stop for photography, out for work in which case it will be a big dslr or two, out on a photography fun trip in which case it will be a dslr, an rb67, a speed graphic or a pinhole, or out on a family outing in which case it will be a FSU rf or a 120 folder, like the 645 ikonta which is my smallest concealed carry camera.
I just wish they made a wristwatch size spotmeter / rangefinder to go with my old fun cameras.

Hi,

I generally bring with me a GRD I for multi purpose shoot or my OM2n for street photography.

I always carry either a GR1v or GRDII or both in my bag i take to work. A day or weekend away then it's the leica kit plus the compacts.

GR-D II in the bag or pocket.

Right now there is Olympus XA in my backpack, but as much as I love its small size - I may swap it for 35mm RF (yet to be decided) that will give me better low light performance (The XA seems to require f/5.6 or more to deliver acceptably sharp pictures).

Sometimes I carry the Rolleiflex T, but it is MUCH more bulky and requires external light meter, so it usually goes along only if I expect some shooting.

Matus - I really like your avatar. Man, that little XA must feel threatened...

I don't carry a camera with me when I go to work, but when I leave home with my family I usually carry two RF cameras with 2-4 lenses in a small camera bag. Sometimes, I don't take photos, but most of the time, I do.

Often, it is a Canon P with 50mm and 100mm lenses, plus a Bessa L or T with a Canon 19mm lens. When I travel to a conference, I take the XA in my pocket.

I just bought myself an Olympus XA for my birthday. It is an easy to carry camera and it has been traveling in my backpack to work and in my jeans pocket when I am out running around. I have it loaded with Ektar 100 and hope to get some nice pictures from the XA.

I´m carrying everyday a digi Canon Powershot A 580, an MF RF and a 35mm RF.
The 35mm RF can be any of the cameras I have, from a ´37 Contax to a Yashica E35 G(S)TN (it is a GSN converted to GTN) as well as a Seagull 203 or a ´32 Voigtländer Virtus.
Usually I take (minimum) two or three photos a day unless I have to stay at the office for the full shift.

I have my iPhone with me most of the time. It has a camera. I have lots of cameras (even a couple of small ones) but recently i've been feeling just a little dorky toting one when I'm not out specifically shooting.

I went to a surprise retirement party tonight, thought about taking an RF camera, a fast lens and film to get some available light shots and then thought, nah, I'll just leave it home. 🙁

XA or XA4, depending on what jacket I happen to wear - there's one in the pocket of each of my regular jackets.

 

[dotur]

D-Lux 4 or the old Canon Ixus V2

I used to carry a Ricoh 500G in my bag all the time but it developed some strange light leak problems lately. Until i fix that, i'll be carring my Yashica T4 with me.

Always with a camera, even for a pee.

 

[bmattock]

Kodak C530 in my car at all times. Generally have a camera with me except where not permitted.

 

[JeffGreene]

Oly XA or Oly Epic is with me every day in my briefcase.

I'd be interested in seeing a version of this poll based on where people live. I suspect that people who live in urban environments, who are more likely to walk or use public transportation, carry cameras much more often than people who live in rural or suburban environments and drive almost everywhere. I'm in the latter category. You can't drive and take pictures at the same time.

When I shoot, it's almost always at a location I drove to. Once there, I'm out on foot.

I have been living in rural areas most of my life and used to carry almost always a long telephoto attached to a camera plus a view camera in the trunk.

Now I now live in a huge city (let me out of here!) and use "small" cameras. Usually it is a Nikon F, sometimes an Olympus OM-3 or a Nikon FM2.

If I go to a party or something like that I take a rangefinder with me but despite enjoying this forum I am not really a rangefinder type of person and I get my worst photos with that kind of camera...

Digital (DSLR) is for work or my personal projects.

I am never had a compact digital, I am waiting to get my first one (already ordered) and I have no idea of whether that will have much use or not, waiting to see how I like the prints, I hope that not looking like a pro will give me some more chances in some occasion but probably will always go together with a "real" camera.

Ricoh GR1s always in my pocket...

 

[FS Vontz]

I said I don't usually carry one, but that wasn't true. I have one with me most places(Olympus 35RC with Ilford HP5 and a spotmeter), it's just very rarely do I use it.

FM3a + Voigtlander 40 F/2 + B/W 400 iso pushed to 1600 and a red filter on it to limit light when in bright day.
Enough small to be in my pouch everyday.
