One camera / three lenses / 35mm film - Pick your system

[splitimageview]

luckily this is film-only.

There are no 'digital for life' systems.

🙂

 

[Addy101]

Maxxum 9, Minolta AF 35/2, 85/1.4 and 200/2.8.

Cool kit, thinking about it 🙂

Oh, so close 😀

 

[Spanik]

Couldn't do it, not in 35mm film.

 

[Phil_F_NM]

Nikon F2AS
2.1cm f/4 Nikkor-O
50mm f/1.2 AIS Nikkor
200mm f/4 AIS Nikkor

These were hard choices though. Lots of awesome combinations to go with.

Film? HP5+

Leica M6
Lux 35/1.4
Pentax Takumar 50/1.4 M

These are from my own lenses.

Leica M9
Lux 35/1.4
Pentax Takumar 50/1.4 M

I didn't realize the M9 was a film camera 😉

It took me a second to change 9 to 6.

One camera / three lenses / 35mm film - Pick your system

... you can only shoot with this system (and your body/lens choices) for the rest of your life.

What do you pick?

No problem!

I picked many years ago.

Nikon F2 body
35mm f/1.4
85mm f/1.8
180mm f/2.8

[Silva Lining]

I got mine :

Leica M3 DS
Summilux 50/1.4
Summicon 90/2.8
Ultron 28/2

Can't see me selling any of this so it's got me for life 🙂

 

[michaelwj]

Well, if it's an unlimited supply of "not my money",

BNIB black paint M2 (some collectors gotta have a new one tucked away)
21/3.4 SA
35/2 v4
50/2 v3

In reality, I'd replace the BP M2 with a different M, likely the M6 I already have.

I found it a lot harder to choose the hypothetical 3 vs the hypothetical 1 lens. Did anyone else? The hypothetical 2 would probably be harder though.

 

[Jamie Pillers]

FM3A, 28/2.8 Ai-s, 50/1.4 Ai-s, 55/2.8 Micro-Nikkor. Works with or without batteries, excellent durability, high image quality, compact, no rangefinder adjustment necessary… ever. 🙂

 

[Austerby]

From about 1983-2004 my only 35mm set was a Nikon FE, 28mm Nikon series E, 50mm f1.8 Nikkor and a 70-200mm Tokina zoom and I used it for everything - parties, family shots, holidays, travelling, concert photography etc etc I had to, I had nothing else (well, apart from a Yashicamat 124g).

That did me very well indeed, so if anything I'd probably go back to that as I still have them - though as I've a bit more disposable income these days I might look for a Nikkor equivalent zoom.

 

[Dguebey]

The following is my present gear, and I realized I became (nearly) free of GAS :

- M7 0.58
- 24/2.8 Elmarit ASPH
- 35/2.0 M-Hexanon
- 50/1.5 ZM C-Sonnar or 50/2.5 Summarit M

I go out rarely with three lenses. Daily kit 24+50
I add 35 for "societal" circumstances or serious reportage.
Very rarely 24 is replaced by a small inexpensive 90/4.0 but I can live without it.

EOS 1V
Sigma 35mm f/1.4
Canon 50mm f/1.2
Sigma 85mm f/1.4

or

M7 Ala Carte, Black Paint
35mm Summicron IV
50mm Summilux ASPH
75mm APO ASPH

 

[kiemchacsu]

M3
21 lux, 35 lux, 90 cron

I am surprised that you take M3 with no 50mm lens. Any reason that you prefer m3 to m2 in this case?

 

[tunalegs]

Well if I just go by what I use most often it would have to be an Edixa Prismaflex and an Enna Lithagon 3.5/35, a Yashinon 2/50, and a Soligor 2.8/100.

Although lately I've been using an Schneider Xenon 1.9/50 instead of the Yashi. Just haven't been shooting much 35.
