What's your 2014 1 camera, 1 lens setup?

No can do one camera and one lens.

The real problem, see, is my film stash. It's 3 different formats of film: 120, 127, and 135. Most of it expires in 2014.

I am forced to use multiple cameras.

But, I'll be thinking about you guys whenever I load film into a different camera.
 
No way I'll only use one camera, one lens, all year. But to be honest some 75% + of what I shoot will be M6, 50mm Planar or C-Sonnar or 35mm Biogon, and Tri-X or Hp5+.

Cheers,

This combo of '37 Contax II and '52 Sonnar f2 works for me.

I use several cameras and lenses on a semi regular basis but if you mean my grab and go camera it will be my usual viewfinder Olympus Pen (film) made in April/1960 and still working fine today.
 
I think mine will be the EPL1 with Hexanon AR 40/1.8 in the high contrast b/w art mode.

One thing about this mode is that the auto exposure functions rarely work, the dynamic range is minimal. But the feeling from the output is highly organic.

I guess I have a few more days to decide.

I am not doing the one camera/one lens thing except occasionally, but that sounds like an intriguing combo. I have an E-PL1, one of those lenses, and a VF-4 .. I'll try it out. 🙂

I think I'll change mine to the XE-2 with the 27mm pancake lens...great street setup, great feel...wonderful sounding focal plane shutter (much Leic some other cameras 🙂

Happy New Year

it's a pretty good combo

it's a pretty good combo

even if you don't use the same settings as me. The distortion is pretty low, and vignetting is low, size is relatively compact for an slr lens with adapter.

I have a 25/1.4 toy c-mount type lens that for many scenes works well, and has a friendlier focal length, but then I'd be stuck with soft edges, significant vignetting and distortion all of the time.

I might go to standard monochrome mode, with noise reduction off, and sharpness set to -2, contrast +2. There's a lot of experimenting that can be done with gradation (auto, vs normal, low, high) and other settings. I'd recommend putting the menus into scp mode, if you use the epl1.

I must say I've built up quite a bit of undeveloped film lately, so I'll probably spend most of my time shooting digital with my newly acquired Sigma DP2M.
 
One camera one week is a hard enough norm for me to observe.

Luckily for me, no CTDs to risk in this sort of promiscuity.

Still a nasty little angel on my shoulder keeps telling me to have a gear sell-off and be more like [fill in your most admired 1 cam/1 lens god here].

The demon on whom I rely, though, sincerely wishes all you monocameranauts the best possible singular vision journey in 2014.
