Sexiest looking camera?

My M2 with nickel Elmar 35mm f/3.5.

Very sexy.

I suspect this camera spent its life in a safe...

Black paint Nikon SP

I’d agree with that

Pentax Spotmatic, Contax RTS, Leica IIIg, Linhof Technika, anything strapped around the neck of a young Stephanie Seymour or Christy Turlington.

From a Kawaii viewpoint, very Cute!

two for me - Black F & M4

Love the black F.

Clearly, the most beautiful camera of all has been ignored - I present to you...

In all seriousness though, I think this camera looks pretty cool. The looks are overstated. It looks like a clockwork device from another time. In terms of handling though, it looks a little rough.

My dad claims this was the camera that made him quit rangefinders and switch to SLRs forever 😉

Gotta love the "external" rangefinder coupling mechanism. LOL.

Is that lens mounted correctly? Regardless - a stunning IIIg. It begs to be used. Careful use would not mar it. My black Nikon F3/T, bought new in 1988 and used extensively, is still in mint condition. No scratches, dents, scrapes, or brassing.

From a Kawaii viewpoint, very Cute!

I like it - 1950's "Populuxe" styling and colors. I would definitely use that camera.

Yes! It has a Lot going for it! Plastic lens, curved film plane, bad viewfinder, 620 film...... it should out Holga a Holga 🙂

Ah, yes, the beautiful M5 which I hope to own some day. Last of the pre-dot Leicas.

These all strike me as expensive cameras but not attractively designed ones. Most cameras to me look like machines with the covers removed to expose the works...

It's funny, I have a soft-spot for the C3 and recently discovered the C33 (see Head-Bartender's write-up). Both borderline ugly/sexy. 🙂

Sexy, not nerdiest! 😉

A bit late, August is gone, but seems like its still Argust time. Here's my version of the brick.

Never came across the C33 before. Now that's an attractive brick 🙂
