SLR's for rangefinder users

Canon A-1, Nikon FM2n, Canon AE-1p, Praktica MTL-5 (in the car just in case), oh and just got some Nikon Nikkormat camera over the holidays that I can't wait to try out.
 
...for 120 i use a rolleiflex slx and/or 6002 & for 35mm i use oly om-1+2 and/or leica r5 and/ or just recently, a pentax mv-1...and sometimes my wife's oly centurion (aps format)

hasta la vista, adieu, dasvidanya ,fino al prossimo tempo, auf wiedersehen, and later y’all

Being a Minolta SLR man (with one Nikon as well) I'm curious of what SLR's you people use when you're not "rangefinding".

Nikons: F1, F3 (2), F100 (2) , F5, N75 (the better half's);

Also: D70 and D100

Nikkormats: FTN, FT-2, FT-3, EL

Many lenses - primes and zooms, MFs & AFs - mainly Nikkors plus some Vivitars, Sigma/Quantarys and a no-name one.

[We have 3 residences in two states and don't want to carry cameras between them!]
 
Funny! I'm just about to get my hands on a black finished xd7 (xd11 in the US). Beleive it was the foundation for some Leica models with very different price tags.
 
When I want an "old school" feel - Pentax K1000 - when I want something that's a bit more big and robust - EOS-3 - when I want digital 20D 🙂

Leica R8, Canon 300d for digital. Also have some canon f1's a nikon f and a nikkormat. Oh yea an Oly Om2n as well. I need to shoot more film to justify my gear habbit :bang:
 
Nikon FM3a. Has aperture priority when you want the convenience and a hybrid shutter that operates steplessly in electronic mode or in regular increments without batteries. It has nearly the same dimensions as an M with just a tad more chunkiness.
 
Right now, a Canon AE-1. When I get the pennies together, I intend to retire it to a honored place on the shelf (as it was my mother's camera) and get a T-90 and an EOS 5.
