Nikon F2 with the Nikkor 50/2. The Leica IIIf w/ Elmar comes in second at the moment, while waiting for the Rolleicord Vb to come back from CLA. Then things will probably change in favour of the Rollei.
You're all gonna move away from me on the bench, so to speak 🙂 but this is the one I use most. It's now over 10 years old, and I don't know what I'm gonna do when it gives up. I don't think these are able to be repaired....
I think there are still some of these around new- unless it's the zoom model. Try Freestyle- less than $100 last time I got a catalog if I'm remembering right.
Not much worse than having a favorite item disappear.🙁

This is the zoom model. Yeah, I know, not popular here, but I'm spoiled by the zoom, both on this one and on the SLR.
(I can just feel everybody moving away from me on the bench -- hey, I didn't get nuttin, I had to pay $50 and pick up the garbage.) 🙂
Curiosity got to me so I checked the big B&H wish book. They still list the 38-150 (chrome/silver) version of this at $119.95. I really don't know what I will do when it dies. I really don't want to get a {d-word} P&S!
There are three fairly recent ones- C1, C2 & C3 (simple enough). I've no experience with any of these, I have a couple of Contax T2's and a Tvs that fill this need for me. Couldn't begin to count how many films I've put through that Tvs...
There is another- Zx something or other I think, a little older- circa 2000.
My wife's step-mother has the fixed lens Stylus Epic and has made untold beautiful images of her many kids & grandkids with it. A really excellent camera, and exceptional build quality- seem to last forever, but that day does come for nearly any camera I suppose....
