Do my Pacemaker Speed Graphic (4x5) and Century Graphic (2x3) count if I primarily shoot them with the Kalart rangefinder? 😀

Besides them, Voigtländer Prominent I + Nokton 50/1.5

1) Canon-P
2) Fed 2D
Had a Contax IIIa and a Nikon-S but for some reason just never really got into either.

Zeiss Super Ikonta B.

It's a 6x7 folder RF, mine is from 1937 😎

 

[Vics]

Contax IIa and IIIa.

 

[clear2000]

Digital - Epson R-D1
35mm - Konica Auto S3

Moskva 5

 

[Honus]

Plaubel Makina 67

Either my mamiya 7 or xpan

 

[Pioneer]

In general order of use over the past year:

1. Contax II (Arguably my favorite 35mm rangefinder of all time. Logs almost as much film every year as my K1000 and LX.)
2. Zeiss Ikon ZM
3. Agfa Super Isolette w/Solinar 75/3.5
4. Sears Tower Type 3
5. Fuji GA645
6. Ansco Super Memar w/Soligar 50/2

Numbers 2 and 4 are arguably Leica enough not to qualify in this post.

Thanks for your interesting replies, gentlemen!

It seems that some of you listed cams that you don't own. In my list I have only mentioned cameras that I have or have owned.

So, if I was to add some "dream cams", it would look something like this:

- Zeiss Ikon (black)
- Plaubel Makina 67
- Mamiya 7 II
- Voigtländer Prominent
- Canon 7
- Konica Hexar RF
- Nikon S2
- Minolta CLE
- ...

😉

My favourite non-Leica camera is the Ilford Witness and if I ever win the Lottery it will be on my "must get list".
The last one that went for auction on 5th October 2012 sold for £13,500 but it was in good/very good condition in original maker's box.

Now, THAT is an interesting cam after all. Never heard about it before. Thanks!

Bessa R3a
Bessa R4a

or is it the other way round? Anyway both are great.

 

[Vince Lupo]

Contax I, Contax II, Kiev II or III

 

[Bill58]

Canon L1
Canon P

However, if I could do it all over again, I'd go w/ the Nikon RF system due to better build quality and the focusing wheel. I'm a lefty and the wheel is easier to use than the tab on the lens of LTM lenses.

Mamiya 6, best rangefinder ever.

I liked the X Pan, but I like the Horseman SW612 better
