Probably some poll entries lost by concentrating on interchangeable-lens RFs. Minolta CLE is missing too, which has been my fav at times. And no FSU gear on the list. I notice that of the list categories, I'm missing only the LTM Leica, Epson, and Canon; I own samples of the rest and I like them all. Most have been favorites at one time or another, except the early Contax (and Kievs), and Nikon which are cool but not so comfortable to use. I voted Digital Leica, since currently I'm exploring how the M8 may be "me". :)
 
My pair of Hexar RFs have been my mainstay for nearly eight years now. This year they were joined by a Leica M2, which makes for a merry and solid trio. Too bad I could only choose one in the poll, but the Hexen got the nod for this.

My Hexar RFs get most of the work when I'm doing "serious" shooting. However, my M3 (usually with Elmar-M 50/2.8) is the one I carry with me. So what does "most frequently used" mean here? Most frames taken or most days used? I went with the latter in my vote...

Mike: Like I said, had we the choice of picking at least two cameras, I'd have put the M2 up there. Alas. :)

Canon P and Leica M6 are being used the most these days, but I am also using the Standard Leica and the Hexar RF.
 
Canon P with a 50, Bessa R with a 35, and a Bronica RF waiting in the wings for the occasional shoot until the 35mm project winds down.
 
Too many choices!

Too many choices!

I voted for Contax G1 because that is what I did use 90% of the time. These days I am shooting an ongoing assignment for a log home salesman and I am not confident of my composition with any RF (parallax trips me up every time :mad:) so I am using two evil SLR's, a Canon A-1 and a Minolta 600SI. My Contax is actually for sale as I am reducing my kit and it and several others will be replaced by a Canon L1 that I have had for a while , but will need a CLA before I can start using it for "good" pictures. When finances permit, I want to acquire a Canon P and a few Canon RF lenses to compliment the L1 with a Jupiter 8 and 12.

Happy shooting with whatever you use! :D
 
I use film Leica M, LTM Leicas, Cosina Voigtlander Bessa cameras, Canon RF, and Nikon RF. My favorite? The one I select.
 
I chose early LTM because I almost always have a Barnack with me. But for indoor events/low light situations I use either an M3, M6 or Bessa-R.
 
Well, since I kept only the ZI and my my M and SM Leica, I have no choice but pick the Zeiss Ikon. But I have to say that it's a wonderful camera and I chose to keep it over the M2 which is an outstanding camera too. The reason is the large VF of the ZI and it's lightness. However I miss the M2, but I miss the Leica III more, because it's so tiny and reliable for street photography. I guess it's one of my next purchases.
