who here shoots only rangefinders?...not a poll

90% RF, now mostly Bessa R3A, but still used Yashica Electro GTN and Olympus 35 SP...
5% SLR (Pentax ME Super, used primarily for a 24mm Vivitar lens) If I ever get my hands on a CV 25mm lens the Pentax will gather more dust)
5% P&S digicam

When film then RF. Sometimes it's hard to choose, but the Hexar is the winner to me most of the time.

In digital, unfortunately the only cam is out of my budget...

I so want to say yes, only rangefinders, but no. There's the FM3A for casual shooting and a digital Canon P&S to take photos of the other cameras.

that's what I thought.

But now you must have at least 0.01% with the ZI.

So far the ZI is still in its box.
Need to sell that M2 first before I commit myself to the ZI.

So, who wants an _M2_? 😀
 
I shoot whatever is appropriate to the situation. If any camera will do, I shoot whatever I find interesting at the moment. Last night, it was a Minolta SRT-102. The night before that, a Canon FTbN. Previous to that, an Olympus EC, and before that, a Zeiss Ikon Contina IIa.

I shoot DSLR to make money to help pay for my kit lust, and I am fiddling around with bits and bobs to make something resembling a 4x5 RF, if I can do it.

I am monogamous to my wife. With my cameras, it's the sultan's harem - whomever's dance pleases me best that day.

Best Regards,

Nice one Bill 😀
 
I shoot with....

RF's: Leicas and the occasional fixed lens rangefinder, 65%

SLRs: Hasselblad (love this camera) 25%

Digital: Small compact for silly snaps and..photos of cameras.... 10%
 
All RF's, all the time. Except, like joe, a small digicam too that sees very little use.

Canonet QL17 G-III
Yashica GS
Nikon S3

I'd add a DSLR to the mix in a heartbeat if I had some funds available.

Mostly rangefinders here once I discovered them. I have recently experimented with an old Rolleiflex and still own my Nikon FM2, but that hasn't seen the light of day is quite a while.
 
About two-thirds rangefinders, one third Pentax SLR outfit at the moment. The SLR obviously for close-up/long lens work, otherwise whatever take the fancy. I have wider lenses for the Bessas than the Pentax, which also contributes to the decision-making process, and, of course, I love my Bronica!

Now I can't decide what to take on holiday to Svalbard in June as I can make an argument for all three outfits!
 
Well, a good 75% of my shooting over the last four+ years has been with my Hexars; the remainder has been a mix: Konica Auto S3 and Ricoh GR1 (both still on the DL as of this writing, but hopefully reapired by mid-summer), Konica Lexio 70, and, bringing up the rear, Olympus OM-2n for the occasional bit of macro work. Nothing digital for the time being.

So, yes, almost all my shooting is RF, or at least non-SLR.
