What camera are you carrying RIGHT NOW?

xa + whatever cheap film is in my fridge. scanning the first test roll now to see how I like the results.
already fired the shutter unintentionally twice, it's as sensitive as I've heard...but I like the handling otherwise.
I hate to say it, but if it can perform, it might be my new travel cam instead of my trusty 35RC.
 
XA with Fuji Superia 400, and the EPL1 with the 17/2.8 fitted.

I've mainly used the EPL1 today. Mostly in RF-style mode, with aperture priority (with -1/3 stop compensation), manual focus, and monochrome. I didn't take many shots on the way in to work, and I shan't be taking many on the way home, since it's dark, but I need to use it less as a snapshot camera (even though the controls are not as well set out as the EP5 I want).
 
John,
How do you like that Brownie Hawkeye? Did you respool film onto 620 spools?

I have a few of those and haven't used them in years, but they were fun.

I think there's a website that offers refurbished Hawkeyes with updated colors and other fun "Holga-esqe" treatments. Not necessarily for the purist:)

I use 120 film, fed in the camera from the 120 spool onto a 620 spool. Works fine if a bit stiff to advance the film.

Refurbishing them is easy. they come apart easily and once cleaned they go back together just as easily. I like to add a strap and a moveable cover for the film advance window. Painting is easy too. While apart, a rattle can of your favorite color will give it your personal look.

I'm on a driving trip for work this week, rather than flying so I can afford the room for a little extra gear:

Rolleiflex 2.8D, ZI Super Ikonta III and my newest camera - ZI Box Tengor (6x9)
 
XA with Fuji Superia 400, and the EPL1 with the 17/2.8 fitted.

Same again, for the third day. But, this morning, I heard of the death of Tony Benn, and I can't get the enthusiasm to take photos. Not on the way into work, anyway. I want to head to the centre of town and photograph people. But I can't, so I'm at work, and sad.
 
Olympus Trip AF Mini just out of curiosity as I realised it was another Leica mini, Panasonic C-625, Minolta Riva Mini half brother and so on, but it says "Made in Korea"...

Regards, David
