What camera are you carrying RIGHT NOW?

The M3 is my pocket camera for today, wearing a Voigtlander 28mm f/3.5 Color-Skopar (there's also a 40mm Nokton in my other coat pocket) and 28mm minifinder. I'm trying out a Photo Equip M-Grip as an alternative to using a wrist-strap; so far it's working well but I think I'll move it over to my M2 later on and fit the M3 with an ML-Grip, which looks like it'll be more comfortable to hold with the self-timer lever in the way.
 
Leica M3 DS with a 1,5 Summarit. I bought myself a hood, and even though it would make better photos, I don't use it as often as I should. It's less pocketable that. I would like to use my 3,5 50 Elmar or Jupiter 8, but I just end up always using this. I actually find myself shooting low light often anyway... As for films, I've recently been using any HIE or Neopan 1600 I can get without using ALL of it and I've also recently shot a roll of Aura IR820. My other standard films are Tri X, Plus X, P3200, IR400, and Kentmere 400.
 
Asahi Pentax Spotmatic with Super Takumar 50/1.4. Thought I'd take the old girl for a ride for old time's sake. Still works as it did in 1971.
 
Today, I am using my new Canon T2i with an EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II lens. I originally bought this lens to use with my Elan 7e, but it works as a normal to short tele zoom on the Rebel DSLRs.
 
None ...it`s 10.15 and I`m getting an early night 🙂.
Meet in Liverpool tomorrow I`ll have an M2 and 50 Summicron with a Contax139 / Yashica 28/2.8 ML.
 
My new to me Vivitar 35ES. The mailman just delivered it. Later, I may actually put some film in it, but for now, I am simply holding it in my hands and admiring it in all of its compact, shiny, spotless black beauty. This may finally be "the one" for me, as far as compact rangefinders go, so there may soon be several very nice Olympus, Canon, and Konica rangefinders listed in the classifieds here, because they may have become redundant.
 
Today, it was IIIf RD and Elmar 50/3.5.

It will be Canon EOS 5 with T-Novoflex 400 f/5.6 with Novoflex 2x tele converter.
The film is XP2 Super 400. I'll will develop in B&W process and try to get overall gray picture with low contrast to make the airplanes disappear half way into the clouds...
Sick 😀

KISS: M6, 50 Summicron-M, Neopan 400... and my "new" Sekonic L-308.

I hadn't used an incident meter for a few years, and the new toy has confirmed that I've been choosing exposures, based on informed use of the M6's built-in meter, that more or less exactly correspond to what I'd be getting with an incident meter. This really should not surprise me at this point, but it still kind of does.

Anyway, if you're looking for a good meter, I think this is the most convenient one I've ever used, including a Weston, a couple of Luna-somethings, and a Pentax spotmeter. Very, very nice.
