What camera are you carrying RIGHT NOW?

this is sad - while the loaner Mamiya 7II w/80mm sits on a table at home, I'm carrying the old F5 w/50/1.8 AF-D. hey, it's been mostly raining all night/morning, and the Mamiya IS only a loaner...... and it went to roller derby sunday!

Id just as soon not expose a loaner camera to rain 🙂

I left everything big at home today. Pocket cams only: Pentax Optio A40 and Olympus XA with Kodak 400.
 
Hasselblad 2000FCW
3 backs (PlusX on camera)
150mm F f/2.8
50mm CFi FLE f/4
80mm CF f/2.8

(OK, I'm not really "carrying" it -- it's sitting next to my desk at work. I only carry the camera with lens+back when I go out at lunch to shoot. It would be insane to carry the whole bag.)

It's certainly toyish. 😉

But it's really a joy to shoot, as it's super simple and it fits pretty nicely in m hand. I'm currently shooting ISO400 as you have an aperture of 10.8 at 1/100, so you have to make sure there is some light. Of cause one can use the b-shutter, but you'll need a steady tripod, since there's no cable release.
But that's the only real downside I see at the moment.

Shure it doesn't take super sharp pictures and I won't bring it for serious shooting, but it's definetely fun.

For what Lomo asks for one of those things, I'd expect a little more, or to pay a little less. I'm much more likely to get the DIY TLR camera kit from Thinkgeek:

Tbh I only bought it, because I wanted the Digitaliza and I got it as a bundle for a lot cheaper, due to a friend who got a rebate. 😉

A DIY camera is on my list, too.
Always wanted to build one myself, but still unsure, what to buy.

And to get back to the thread, my X100 is now in use. 🙂
 
exactly - even if it were mine, yesterday was pretty wet. today was drier, but still an F5 day. tomorrow, however..... still, at least I'm on my 3rd roll in the thing. not bad, tho still, the 67II is soooo much nicer to look through.

Konica Hexar AF loaded with Neopan 400. The fifth or sixth roll I've run through this little beauty. I'm really liking this camera as a daily carry, but the jury is still out to how I feel about 35mm versus my normal preference of 50mm. Going to have to run more film through it to find out. 😀
 
i am in laredo, texas...as usual, driving an 18-wheeler...

my everyday bag with mamiya6 (aaarrghh, a brace of them), rolleiflex 6002, swc/m, and a kershaw folder (6x6 camera, not the pointy tip, sharp, apple slicing thing). have my benchmade mel pardue 154cm for that.

my back-up bag: p67, rolleicord iv & om2...and the crown graphic in it's own bag.

oh, oh, oh, let us not forget the iphone3.

breathe, relax and enjoy.

I'm in school in a classroom right now (and I'm not a teacher, I'm 17) and I have Kiev 4 with Jupiter 8M 50mm F2 in my pocket ready with the wrist strap hanging out from my pocket.

Are you going somewhere special to take pictures, or is that your "Just in case" bag?

I have a Pentax K10D, Olympus XA and Super Graphic, and I'm in my office at work. I fix computers.

I hope you make a few pictures during lessons brake and show them in next weeks. 🙂

Having purchased a 90mm lens too I can now downsize my standard equipment to RF only (2 film bodies), covering 15/28/50/90mm FoV and leave the short tele SLR at home.
 
Got an Olympus 35 Trip in my man-purse 😉
And a roll of Fuji Superia 200....but I forgot I need to fix the light seal at the back door hinge on this camera. Don't want to chance it
