RF Camera Beauty Contest: GROUP B

[oljim]

Fun idea, Rich.

Glad to see the Voigtlander Prominent made the list. Definitely one of the prettiest cameras ever made, imo, even if a little counter-intuitive to use.

However, if a Futura S or similar made the list it might have got my vote. They are really beautiful.

 

[Rich Silfver]

Wow, great turn-out at the voting booths - over 100 votes cast in just this group.

As a reminder: There is a total of 79 cameras that you will get a chance to vote on (I have only had time to post groups A and B so far - groups C-F are coming later this week) 🙂

 

[Rich Silfver]

Btw - we are pretty consistent - 123 votes casted on Group A so far and 120 votes casted on group B.

I should be able to post at least group C tonight.

Would love to see a Voigtlander Vitessa L on the list sometime! Thanks for setting up this enjoyable exercise.

There is a Voigtlander Vitessa coming up for voting in GROUP F 🙂

For the record: I voted for the Linhof Technica 4x5 here; I think it's the most beautiful of the "group" here, no matter what my personal camera choice or bias is.

Well I hope the SP and S3 do not knock each other out of the running. They are "Sisters", and look much alike.

 

[Rich Silfver]

I actually voted for the S3 in this group - I find its design more pleasing than the SP 🙂

 

[Sonnar Brian]

In some ways the S4 is even nicer, no Self Timer and the Black Manually reset counter.

Photos are very helpful and it's quite interesting comparing them. Great idea! Thanks.
I voted for the Olympus 35SP simply because of its clean lines.

Ditto. And so it's funny to see the SP out-running it.
"...in the eye of the beholder".

2nd, for me would have been the Retina or the Voigtlander. That was a particularly poor pic of the Retina, though. 🙂

You know, pity this is a "first past the post" vote. Here in Australia we're more used to preferential voting systems. 😉

Cheers,
Steve
(at least this vote isn't compulsory)

 

[Sonnar Brian]

Well, I have at least one of each of the top four in this group; I'm covered...

and the Retina and Voigtlander...
