Sexiest looking camera?

Another pic of my black paint IIIc.

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

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

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 :)
 
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. :)
