Just For Fun, What Famous (or not) Person's Camera Would You Like To Own?

No one has mentioned one of the Hasselblads use on (and left out on?) the moon during the Apollo missions yet!

I do not remember the correct words but years ago there was an ad from Hasselblad saying : if you desire one there is a free camera on the moon, just go there and pick it up! 🙂

Anyone's working, black motorized Nikon SP that has a strong rangefinder patch.

I have photographers I respect, but I don't need their cameras in my possession.
If I could only hold in my hands GW camera with his lens on it once, the energy will be with me. Things like this, you just have to hold it in your hands once...

Saul Leiter's old film camera

I know for a fact he's not going to part with his set-up, so I saved up a lot of pennies and bought my own 😀 😀

Curious if you also use a Cambo viewing hood on yours?

How is it, if so?

I'd love to have Mario Giacomelli's Kobell Press, and look at it every day as a reminder, that you can make great photos like this :

According to what? She used both... and who knows which for what.

My top choice as well.

Yes she did use a Mamiya, possibly a C3, but don't know if "most" of her work was done with it. There is a much reproduced photograph of her holding a Mamiya.
But also used 35mm Nikons and the Rolleiflex.
A few years ago a Rolleiflex owned by Arbus was displayed at the LACMA exhibition, it seems safe to assume that the curators of the exhibition chose a tool truly representative of what she used to create the photographs shown.

Anyway, I voted for Arbus' Rollei, but whatever she used for her work would have a place of honor in my living room.
