Who shoots with both an RF & SLR?

[RanceEric]

I often shoot with my Nikon F around my neck and S3 on my wrist. I love combining the two. I normally have the wider angles on the RF and longer lenses on the SLR

does anyone else shoot with the two formats at the same time - would I find it difficult switching on the fly between the two or is it a case of "never the twain shall meet", either shoot exclusively with an RF or an SLR but not both?

When I go rangefinder, I also use an SLR without problems because the S3, SP and F bodies are essentially identical in their control layouts which makes going from one body to any other very easy.
And the R2S body's controls are also so similar that using it with the others presents no problems.

i shoot about equal parts RF and SLR these days... which equates to not much haha.

For 35mm stuff I like my M2. Then, should we even mention SLRs, I like my Nikon F2.

I like to hike and the M2 is reasonably lightweight and the only time I have ever had trouble with it, was the time long ago, when I forgot to put film in it (Oh yes, and then there was that embarrassing lens cap issue.........).

The F2 has never had trouble in the 30 years I've owned it. I suspect it never will in my time. The meter needle isn't even jumpy. If the camera were to fail for some reason, I wouldn't hesitate to pay to have it repaired or overhauled.

For 35mm these cameras are more than enough for the likes of me. I've had and used these cameras for a long time, but I realize that in truth the older I get the more I realize how little I know about how good they really are.
