Any sibling rivalry there, or do they play well together? 😉

They play nicely and sometimes another friend comes along too, Olympus XA4

I wish my XA4 didn't kick the bucket on my trip earlier in the year, it got stuck in self-timer mode mid trip, so I had to finish the last 15 shots or so shooting in that mode. I really preferred it over the XA2 from the lens and extra focusing points.

The 28mm lens on the XA 4 is a big plus, nice and wide on a compact body.

Ive had a Vito B fixation for nearly 40 years!

Heres one of mine - 68 years old, never been serviced and still works fine. Looks nearly new!

Here is my Retina 1a. Arrived in college Sept. 1967. My first “real” camera! Serviced by Chris Sherlock in June of ‘16. I enjoy taking it out for a “sunny 16” day of photography!!

Interchangeable lens variation of the Leica I. This camera is from 1931. It looks like the paint was removed long ago. Elmar 50mm f/3.5 lens.

Here's my Altissa Altix III (as far as I know, I suppose it could be a "II" but the info I've seen is vague on any differences). I wish it had a take-up spool that had the flap so I don't have to sellotape the film to it. (There is a zeiss Ikon camera that also gives 24mm x 24mm negs, I wish I could try a take -up spool from one of those.) Gives 35mm film giving 24mm x 24mm negatives. Below it it is my Petri "Compact" (otherwise labelled as the "Junior" or "Half". The lever you can see is the film wind trigger. 35mm giving 18mm x 24mm vertical negatives.

My Nikonos family, the Nikonos-V is my favourite. Great viewfinder and ergonomics, big controls, quiet, indestructible. I love taking it places.

Voss Diax !a. It looks like it might have a rangefinder but no...it has three built in viewfinders, 35-50-90mm

Can anyone think of another 35mm camera that has three separate built in finders???

View attachment 4878062

And yet it has a 45mm lens on it. Needs another viewfinder lol.
