[MP Guy]

Well, it looks like the honors go to the M3, most gorgeous camera of all time... 😀 I have to admit voting for the MP, but it was very very close among all the M bodies with rewind knobs (the tilted crank spoils the lines for me), and I think the Nikon S3 is right up there among the best looking too even though it didn't make it to the finals.
Edit: Oops, looks like things were going on even while I was composing my post!

I say let it run for one more day - this was intended for fun from day one anyway and what can be more fun than getting more votes - I cant see how anyone would argue with that 🙂

(Oh and Jorge - I deleted the 'winner' thread but it was posted as 'news' and it still shows in the news section on the top of the front page..can you clear that up?) 🙂

 

[Rich Silfver]

OK...24 more hours to get your votes in !!

Make sure you vote with your eyes and heart 🙂

 

[NL2377]

Of course, the one that I vote for has the least amount of votes! M6 all the way, baby!

 

[Rich Silfver]

And now the M6 still has a chance 🙂

 

[jan normandale]

please please please.... end it now , please?

 

[Rich Silfver]

Sorry Jan it will be one more sleepless night.

Just remember..it is all for fun 🙂

been in love with the m3 for a long time but for some reason i ended up with slr stuff....hm....

 

[gosu_john]

I voted for the Canon and though I love the looks and feel of it. I gotta admit the vote was pretty much an un-informed and biased one since I only used that out of all the cameras posted up for votes here. But like Rich said its all for fun. So, at least from a poor student's point of view with limited resources, gogo Canon GIII! *grin*

No Barnacks and no Nikon SP..how is that..two of the most beautiful???

 

[Rich Silfver]

See here for the nominees and the semi finals and how the SP and barnacks didn't receive enough votes: http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00FTjU&tag=200603011103

 

[MP Guy]

And the MP takes the lead 😀

 

[ch1]

My goodness - the Leica MP is in the lead!

I voted for it when Brian Sweeny pointed out it was only 3 votes behind!

Now it's in the lead.

It is one of the ugliest cameras I can think of!

Go MP!

An unfair poll revealed! 😱

Every thinking person knows that Nikon S's are the prettiest and most (pre- built meter) excellent cameras on the planet 😛 !

 

[Rich Silfver]

Holy crap. The MP jumped up in the lead !

Hey Jorge, you know you can only vote once right? 😀

 

[pfogle]

M3 for me: 1 to 1 V/F and a 50mm...

 

[nemjo]

My vote went for the M3. I do like the frames around the windows...
and easy to imagine a collapsible on it. And then dream for one...

How close can you get?
But seriously, the new MP's are nice, and EVERYBODY wants one except FrankG, but the basic design is still 1954. The days of the cold war, Adenhauer, Krushchev, Eisenhower and a young Sinatra, and rock&roll still a work in progress.....pure, simple, honest and unpretentious German post-war engineering, with Teutonic functionality the primary concern. Beauty in simplicity.....
Lets face it, the Germans were never cutting edge when it came to aesthetic design. But they sure scored with the the M. Now they know better and hire Italians to their design work.......but it sure would have been interesting to see what kind of camera Enzo Ferrari would have designed back then.....

Hey, they setup the poll so only Leicas could win.

Ho hum....

Hi, hello, first post - lovely place you all have here and all that new person jazz. 🙂

While the M6 sort of reminds me of a svelte, graceful movie star that I once dreamed about in my early teens, my vote goes to the rather attractive girl next door beauty, the GIII.

Oh yes.
