I've checked contax G1 which is my primary RF but I also use quite frequently a Kiev 4a.

Yashica Lynx 14E with fixed Yashinon-DX 45/1.4 is my lead RF now. I need the weight and leaf shutter to counter hand tremors.
Back-up RFs are a Minolta A5 with fixed Rokkor 48/2.8 and a FED-2d with I-50 and I-64.

50/50 i use leica M3 and R-D1s - but i only have 1 vote and i hit the M3,
will be second guessing my vote no matter what way i push the button.

 

[integrale]

Zeiss Ikon (with Zeiss Biogon 35/2 = a very nice combination).

I also use a Leica Digilux 2 (and a Nikon D700).

Nikon's S2's are addictive

Nikon's S2's are addictive

Leica M's & Bessas are great, but the S2 is an addiction, even moreso than S3's.

 

[mgchan]

Minolta-35 Model II w/Super Rokkor 45/2.8

 

[Pico]

I also use a Linhof Super Technika 4x5. That is a rangefinder model. Not listed.

 

[italy74]

Definitely Zeiss Ikon
In my dreams, at least !

M8 and a MD-2 for my wide angle needs

A Canonet 17 GIII has been my go to general rangefinder for a while so I'll have to stick with that as a response.

I have a Lynx 14 which I love to use at night. I prefer more compact cameras for other general use. I just recently picked up a Leica IIIc which I'm still adjusting to. I'm still trying to sort out lenses with it though, as the Summarit that came with the camera is unusable for photos you want to look somewhat normal. I have a few others pending repair which may bump the Canonet - a Minolta 7SII and a Olympus 35RD. It will be an interesting rest of the year.

Can't see Robot Royal nor Minolta CLE in the list

 

[LeicaFoReVer]

there is a second list in another thread, I had to separate it as it did not fit in one list

 

[LeicaFoReVer]

opps, it seems like admins deleted the second thread, I can not see it...:bang:

 

[johnnygulliver]

M8 now mostly, then M2 and MP sometimes my XA.

 

[will-i_am]

an m4-p i have a fed 2 as well but it is in pieces as i started to repair the shutter but lost interest i'm sure i will complete the repair one day...

 

[javimm]

Leica M6 almost exclusively. I've used my father's Bessa R2M on occasion.

Which RF camera? M2 & M4P

Which RF camera? M2 & M4P

"

Lets see which camera is used the most by the members. There will be people using multiple cameras but then just pick your favorite."

Leica M2 - "like butter", I love this thing.
I wanted an M2 because it had the frame lines I wanted (35 & 50) & 28 is the edge of the viewfinder. I found it in 1980 at a Pawn shop in Toronto and paid $650 for it. It needed a bit of love - nothing Leica Canada couldn't help me out with. It has a million miles on it now, and it is still the most beautifully designed piece of machinery I have encountered. Quiet, discreet, fast.

Leica M4P - very very nice but not an M2. Not a fair comparison. I know the guts had to be different so it could handle being motorized.

Thanks
Sam
