Show us your SLR ..... WHAT?

Finally got around to shooting a portrait of this rig: Pentax ME F, Auto Chinon 50/1.9, Kiron 28-210/4-5.6, Image (say who?) 2x TC, battery grip/winder. Thanks to my brother for passing this along as he hasn't used it for many years now. There's a 100-300 too, we just haven't connected for that hand-off yet. :)


Pentax ME F and friends

Best 35mm camera ever made. The F6 guys will say otherwise but the F5 was the last true pro film Nikon. I'm always surprised how fast it is and how spot on the meter is in any situation. Awesome camera.
Of course that is your very personal opinion. I guess Minolta lovers will say it is the Dynax/Maxxum 9 (or 7), Canon lovers will say the Canon EOS 1v and even the pentax people will point out the MZ-S. Gee, even some Nikonians prefer the F4 over the F5 :eek:

F4 over F5.......:eek:
 

Had one so I don't need to read it. I liked the F4 up until I got the F5 which made it feel very dated. It offers nothing I need above the F5 and feels slow in use.
Having used them all I base my views on my own experience and not that of Mr Hogan's or Ken Rockwell's etc etc. and obviously my needs will more than likely differ from others. Everyone has favorites and mine is the F5. It's that simple.
To be honest I don't use much film now and if I do it's whatever lens I fancy using that dictates which camera I load up.
