My other camera is a . . WHAT?

[Benjamin Marks]

For me, it is Leica and Nikon, and always really has been in 35mm land. Oh I dallied with a digi-Rebel when they came out, and later a 5D, but only really used it (and unsuccessfully) with Nikon glass and adapters. What about others? Nikon? Canon? Olympus? Pentax? The poll is a "check all that apply" model.

Along with my Leica M my other camera is Leica III and Leica R7. The stand-by camera in my car is Kodak Retina Ia and in MF is the Rolleicord V. Ah, and Leica X1 for some digital snaps.

My other camera is a many other cameras: Contax, Nikon, Canon, Speed Graphic, Zeiss Ikon, Minox...ah, choice is a beautiful thing.

 

[FrankS]

all of the above 🙂 Like Gabriel, it's all about the choice.

but mainly Nikon, followed by Olympus, then Minolta, Contax, Canon, and Pentax, (in 35mm SLR)

Hasselblad, and also I have a liking for Lomo, so I've got an LC-A+ and a Horizon. I like my Rollei 35 too.

Leica + Nikon. perfect pair for RF and SLR, film and digi, old and new glass, zoom and prime etc 🙂

I probably have "too many" cameras. My SLRs are a Contax RX, a Sony "SLT" digital, and a Hasselblad 500c/m.

I also have a Fuji GA645Zi, which doesn't fit into either the rangefinder or the SLR category. I guess it's a point and shoot (?).

My other camera is a ......Titleist.
Sorry, mixing my forums.

 

[Leica All Day]

When I 'm not using my M6, my weapon of choice is the Mamiya RB67 its huge and heavy but I love it.

 

[DNG]

I don't own an SLR....
I own 2 Panasonic's m4/3 (G1,G3)

 

[oftheherd]

Well, in 35mm SLRs it would have to be the Fujica ST 901 first, then the Contax 167mt.

 

[Mablo]

I'm using Nikon SLR's but Olympus looks very tempting from time to time.

Part of what I was interested in was whether folks choose a complimentary SLR system because it is Leica-like in its handling (e.g. Olympus=small, well designed) or because it has capabilities that Leica does not (e.g. Nikon or Canon long lenses and/or zooms). Truth be told, I do also have a variety of medium format cameras and an increasingly dusty collection of LF gear. But Nikon is really the only other "system" that I have. Interesting to see folks' choices. . .

Edit: back in the dark ages when I was in college the two "echt" camera systems among my cohort were Nikon's F3HP and the Leica R4. I had a lowly Pentax K-1000. Perhaps it is not surprising that as I upgraded over the years, I drifted towards Nikon (which, although expensive, was the more affordable of the two). The clincher came when the re-wind crank fell off my Pentax LX in a middle eastern country where I was working with no Pentax distributorships. There was plenty of Nikon gear around though. Bought my F4 and never looked back.

I shoot Nikon F3's. I own three so I don't have to change lenses, and I often carry two in NYC. BTW all are equipt with motor drives.

Nikons. All Nikons.
But it's the other way around. I started out with their SLRs in 1977 and have used them ever since, and only began using Nikon's Rangefinders about six or seven years ago.
So actually it s the Rangefinders that compliment my SLRs.
Specifically;
Nikon F, F2, FM, FA, & N65 SLRs, and
Nikon S3s, SP, & CV R2S Rangefinders.

 

[burancap]

Hasselblad, Leica, Nikon... and a sole Carl Zeiss Jena Werra -because it is the most beautiful camera ever made!

 

[Chris101]

Nikon FG, F5, N80, D2x, D70(IR), Olympus OM1n, Mamiya 645

I've always been intrigued by Nikons, but I've always been a Canon shooter. I'm ok with this and I have no complaints, though I'm always tempted by Nikons offerings these days.
