Show us your SLR ..... WHAT?

Here's My Visoflex Reflex SLR System. Leitz 400mm F5 Telyt, Leitz 280mm F4.8 Telyt, Leitz 200mm F4 Telyt, Leitz 135mm F2.8 Elmarit (on M4-2 with Visoflex III and Rapidwinder) and 90mm F2 Summicron.

Visoflex is FUN :)

Nice kit, and yes Viso is the more unusual yet versatile SLR system out there!
 
Here's my SL flex

I have mainly Minoltas.

I once had a XD-5:

But I really prefer mechanical cameras so I sold it and mainly use Sr-Ts: A Sr-T 101b and this Sr-T 303 b which for me the best available mechanical SLR:

I use it with some good pieces of glass:
- Rokkor MD 85/2
- Rokkor MC 58/1.4
- Rokkor MD 50/1.4
- Rokkor MC 35/1.8
- Tokina RMC 17/3.5

As an alternative, I also use an Ihagee Exakta Varex II b with several lenses:
- Palinar Telephoto 100/4 (quite unknown and enough used to be able to talk about) - preset diaphragm
- Zeiss Flektogon 35/2.4 - Auto diaphragm
- Zeiss Tessar 50/2.8 - Auto diaphragm

Canon 7D. The first Canon DSLR that I would consider beautiful, both to look at and to handle and use. Of course the Zeiss lens doesn't look too shabby either.

Akiva, next time we get together for lunch remind me to bring my 3.25" x 4.25" R.B.Graflex Series B with its 6 3/8 inch f/4.5 Kodak Anastigmat lens.

It's a LOT cooler looking than your puny little Nikon FM3A ;-)

It's also the only SLR that I currently own, unless Visoflexes count.

I'll call you this week. Lets do it.
 
I'm ready! It'll be fun. I love the looks I get from people when I carry around one of these relics out of the past! I'm amazed at how clean and nice the lens is.
 
Shot a roll with the FM3A and Planar today but struggled to find anything really inspiring to shoot ... it's always the way when you have a new rig! :p

The camera feels very different to the OM-1 I'm used to shooting with and at the moment I'm a little like a fish riding a bicycle ... but I think it has huge potential and once I fit it a little better and become familiar with the controls it will be a great combo. The shutter dial is in a different place, it focuses in the opposite direction to the OM and I keep poking myself in the eye with the advance lever! :D

The roll I shot today is hanging up to dry and I'm looking forward to scanning it tomorrow ... I'm expecting big things from that Zeiss lens.
 
Second in command as SLR cameras go hereabouts: great little fellow with a nice silvernose 50/1.4, but I am going to sell or trade it - a 35 or 85 for my Nikon F2 is a more logical choice for me. I have been on the fence for a good while about keeping this and selling the F2, but sorry, I can bring myself to let the F2 go.

Even thoughts of selling the F2 makes the nerves tingle and photos come out fuzzy... Who says dead things don't create emotions? :)

Some of my SLR treasures:

First a bunch of Minolta AF SLRs. 2x Dynax 9 with 135/2.8 [4.5] STF (the final answer to all bokeh issues) and 135/1.8 ZA Sonnar and a Dynax 7 with Minolta 85/1.4
