What camera are you carrying RIGHT NOW?

I have carried four (two RFs, 1 SLR and 1 digital p&s) since Tuesday to shoot my new grandson in the hospital and when he arrived home today. Three rolls of Arista Premium 400 36 exp to develop, and I roll of BW400CN to drop off at Walgreens tonight.
Tonight, I am carrying only my stalwart FED-2/I-26, loaded with Arista P400 ...
 
Today, a Pentax MX with SMC-M 28/2.8 and some sort of ISO 400 color film.
 
I am on a trip at the moment and use the M8.2 + 35 Lux ASPH and a M7 + Noctilux + motor-m.
I change the lenses between cameras, depending, if I need a bit wider or longer.
I use the M8.2 mostly and only shoot the M7 for wider or lower light @ ISO 3200.

The 90 Cron resides in the hotel - 2 lenses are absolutely enough.

I ran out of battery the first time with the M7 yesterday and had some difficulties, as I forgot, that it takes 4 cells instead of the 2 cells, I always carry with me.

ALWAYS CARRY 4 SPARES with a M7 !!!
 
I'm at work, in the office (I work in IT for a large multinational - you possibly use our printers). My bag is under the desk, next to my left foot and contains a 1932 Leica II with its Elmar + a CV 15mm f4.5. Currently loaded with Legacy Pro 400, in deference to the low light now we are back on GMT.
 
Sitting on my shelf near the desk, and wanting to bt taken out for a walk, is my 1934 Leica III with Summar lens.


I must confess though it is loaded with Fujicolor as I find this easy to use (wide exposure latitude) and cheap to process.
 
Nearly always have M9 + lux 50 asph and now with LX5 in small bag. recently have really been enjoying M9 with CV12. somewhat extreme but good fun
 
I think, if all goes well, that this one, plus my 5D will be my regular.

I have to say, this is what makes me think of a Leica. Truly a great shooter.
 
nice choice on the CL - it seems mine fits in a pocket of my motorcycle jacket, tho not quite as well as the IIIf/Summitar it's 'replacing'.

Every time I see this post I think, "none, I'm reading RFF at my computer".

But, I have a bag in my car with a CL and a DSLR...

Just for fun, a simple set of questions.

Where are you? What are you doing? (optional)

And what photography gear you have with you right at this moment?

I am at work, wasting my lunch hour on internet forums when I could be doing work or starting my book for NaNoWriMo.

My iPhone 3Gs and my Pentax Optio A40 are both on me, as they usually are anywhere cameras aren't specifically prohibited.

Normally I carry around extraneous and interesting old gear, but today I'm travelling light.
 
Simple fun, today - Voigtlander 12mm f/5.6 UWH (LTM) on a Leica MDa fed with Rollei Retro 400S. Sekonic L-208 in my pocket. I'm not a great fan of the MDa's take-up spool - I am considering chopping it in for an MD - but it's hard to feel bad about carrying this combo.

Simple fun indeed.

Is the 12mm so you don't have to bother with a viewfinder? 😀

Or are you using an aux finder or a visoflex?
