Show us your SLR ..... WHAT?

That's one hell of a camera. I sold the EOS 1RS and kept this one. Dead quiet and always spot on when it comes to AF and metering. Has given me some of my best pictures.

Agreed, a good camera. Mine still works and the batteries remain available. The eye-controlled focus was further refined in the EOS 3 but then abandoned. Apparently, eyeglasses, contact lenses, and even lens implants would confuse the system. Cheers, Peter
 
Pentax LX and MX with a some of Pentax's tastier glass.

Interestingly, this whole kit (arguably two of Pentax's best SLR's and best manual lenses) cost less than my M2. 'Value' is an odd thing...

 
An Ihagee Exakta Varex VX, made between 1951 and 1956 in East Germany. It's the exact (pun intended) type of camera used by James Steward in "Rear Window" (1956), by Alfred Hichcock. The lens is a Carl Zeiss Flektogon f2.8 35mm made in the 60's.

Very nice. Good to see another Exakta owner. Here is one of several Exaktas I have, a VX IIa.

I have too many SLRs to list, but number 103 is a new-to-me Konica Autoreflex T3 - a great trap-needle SLR.

Akiva—I’m amazed someone would just bin a Contax set. Do people not know how coveted those are on eBay? The resell value might be a fraction of original price, but definitely worth trying to get something for. Oh well, your gain. I think the only gear I’ve outright thrown in the trash were a couple of 1980s kit lenses that were completely jammed up.

Anyway. I see I’m not the only GX user out here.

So far loving it; shot almost 10 rolls of D100 and a couple of Provia through of soon-to-be-demolished buildings. Got some PanF and Foma 100 on deck for some landscapes and portraits, respectively.

I’d eventually like to get a second back, but I did spend enough on parts to get my Bronica running last month. Parts for that are getting scarce and expensive.

Great, I have VX IIa too, the pretiest of them all :)
 
Such a handsome beastie. I owned one years ago, bought new from Grays and traded in for a new D70 some years later. Too heavy for my tired old paws now, but what a capable monster it is!
