What 35mm film body have you

[besk]

Leica M6. Getting ready to switch to a Nikon N75 for a while.

Olympus Pen F, I have a small kit with the 20mm f35, 25mm f4, 38mm f1.8 and 100mm f3.5. Nice small setup and even full frame 35mm is a postage stamp, so why not go all the way and defray ever increasing film costs.

The 35mm film bodies I have used the most lately? OK,

My Leica M7, for one. I like the aperture priority for use in rapidly changing lighting on cloudy days. And the Nikon FM3a. I like the needle-type exposure indication. I like my FE2 for the same reason, but have used the FM3a more because it's newer and I felt like spending time with it.

Oh, and my Leica M5 was the only film Leica I took to Colorado this year, for the same same reason: I just wanted to spend some time using it. I took it, and the FM3a.

Mostly rangefinders (Nikon S2 an Bessa R2S; Leica CL and M4-P; Zorki-1e, 3, and 6). A couple of Nikon SLR's too, but not enough to count.

... when people post a list of ~10+ cameras (as above), are these the 'most used' or just a list of all your cameras in rotation?

In my case, I simply listed the 35mm film cameras that I have used during the last two years. In most cases, I only ran one roll of 35mm film through each camera. In some cases, I was testing a camera that was given to me by someone who was no longer using film cameras. In other cases, I was comparing a recently acquired camera and/or lens to one that I already owned.

For example, right now, I am testing a recently acquired Mamiya RB67 medium format SLR to a Fuji medium format rangefinder than I already own.
