Many Nikons, a Canon F-1, a Bessa L, and my dad's old Canon QL17 (45mm lens); I had Bronica and Hasselblad gear once upon a time.
 
Hasselblad 500C for medium format.
Leica M6 for 35mm.

These are the only ones I like even though I have Pentax, Minolta & Nikon SLRs.
 
My other camera is... Another Leica. And then another.

And after that: lots of other cameras, from 16mm to 12x15 inch.

Cheers,

R.
 
I have a number of SLRs that get use when the rangefinders are on the shelf. The most used are my Nikon D300, F6 & FM2n. All great cameras and very useful at the track, used mainly for sports.

I also use a fair amount of Contax gear, N1s and an Aria. Terrific Zeiss optics.
 
I used to use Nikons but now Contax. It's all about the glass. I'm really liking my 60 Makro Planar C and 28/2.
 
I bought a new Nikon F in 1968 and still have it. I bought a black F in 1980 and have been using it for color negative film. I have a FE2 that I am selling and a D300 that I will keep. I have a M8.2 but shoot b&w film almost all the time Leicas. Jim
 
I've had number of SLR but I only use Nikon, now.
I've learned to take pics with a zenit ET.
I've started my career as a pro photographer with a Yashica FX3200 with zeiss lenses.
Then I completely changend set and bought a F90X (F90n) and 3 lenses.
And I fell in love with it. I still have it fully functional. And I use a FM2n as a companion.
For DSLR I use a D300 and a D50 because they allow me to use all my old nikkors.
 
I have a Canon DSLR and SLR, plus Nikon and Olympus SLRs. I rather naively thought I'd buy a few, decide which one I like best, and sell the others.....That was the plan at least!

Best regards,

I've really grown to love Pentax M42 SLRs/lenses. One big deal breaker for me is that I really dislike a lot of the more modern signatures that a lot of SLR lenses (belonging to newer SLR systems) have. Since M42 is one of the oldest mounts, it has some of the oldest lenses/signatures. I just recently bought a Pentax Ist DS for $100 (autofocus was broken) to use my M42 lenses on. Now *that* was a good buy. Despite the crop factor, I am seriously enjoying using my M42 lenses on this camera. And every color picture I take gets developed for free. ;) A nice supplement to my Leica M and Vivitar 220/SL (M42 film camera).
 
My SLR is canon (a 7D) which I mainly got to soot wildlife with (badly). I have canon because I started with a 300D and it was the only one I could afford at the time!
 
35 mm: Olympus OMs

MF: Mamiya 6

P&S: Contax T2

The thread that ties all of these together is that they are all relatively compact, have excellent lenses, and handle beautifully for what they are.
 
1992 - Canon EOS-10s [35mm-135 USM]
What a camera! with a remote control!
Still have it.

Now using 2 Nikon F3HP/MD4, and 2 Nikon F4S!
Would like to have some Zeiss glass !
