What camera are you carrying RIGHT NOW?

I have been out today putting the first film through a recent purchase - a Rollei 35RF with 40mm Sonnar f2.8 and trigger winder.

First thoughts are that the focusing tab on the Sonnar can get in the way of one of the tabs on the aperture ring. I find it's best to meter first then focus to stop this being an issue. I'm enjoying using the trigger winder. I'm not sure if I would have paid extra for it but as it came as part of the package it's a bit of a bonus and does work well.

I've tried a few frames with my Minolta 90mm Rokkor f4. The camera does not have 90mm framelines but it does have 80mm ones so I've applied a wee bit of guesswork when it comes to framing. It will be interesting to see what I get.
 
Raid - So you took all-film but a mix of 120 and 35mm? Have fun on the trip!

I'm using a Leica S2 with 2.8/165mm SMC Pentax to see how these work together. The 35 Summarit is in Solms for repair to the diaphragm...

Id be really interested to see what you think of this camera after you have used it for a while, its a camera that really appeals to me
