Rolleiflex 2.8F

Leica MP BP

Leica O reproduction.

Too many to choose from! Of what I own:

Leica M3
Rolleiflex MX-EVS
Nikon F3

That said, my Deardorff V8 is, if not sex on a stick, then certainly titillation on a (heavy) tripod!

You know what they say about opinions:

This would be a very difficult subject to actually create a poll for, probably best like this.

 

[Roberto V.]

-Leica M4 black paint with 35mm Summilux pre-asph (i don't like how the chrome and black chrome versions look as much as the BP), or chrome Leica M2 with 50mm f/2.8 Elmar.
-Zeiss Ikon Contaflex I (later Contaflex SLRs don't look as good to me, I prefer the simplicity of the I)

And the ones I don't own:
-Zeiss Ikon Contaflex TLR
-Rolleiflex 2.8F
-Dubroni Nr. 3 (the whole outfit is incredibly beautiful)
-Alpa SLRs (I love most of them)
-Rectaflex 1300

At the moment: Voigtlander Bessa III.

Chrome M3 with matching 50mm rigid Summicron, closely followed by a button-rewind M2.

Of the ones I use: Leica IIIf
Old collectible: Kodak No. 3 Folding Pocket (118 format film; I've used it a few times with a single sheet of 4x5 film taped to the pressure plate)

I thought there would be a lot of pictures here, Keith came through. I don't think I can pick just one.

1. Black Nikon S3 2000
2. Leica M4 Chrome (I know, not that special but it is to me)
3. Zeiss Super Ikonta III folder

1) Yashica D
2) Leica M4+collapsible cron
3) GFI+20 1.7

 

[Livesteamer]

Alpa 6c A combination of Swiss watch precision with the strength of a main battle tank. It focuses very close, will mount many other lenses with the right adapter and is delightfully different. Joe

 

[wlewisiii]

No doubt.

(ok, why are the img tags not working?)

 

[zvos1]

I have to admit while ago I thought Leica M cameras were ugly. But now I can't imagine any camera more beautiful than Leica M in black. My vote goes for black M4.

 

[alfredian]

Chrome Leica M4 w/DR Summicron. Runner-up is a chrome Nikon S2 w/105 Nikkor.

And yeah, what's with the image icon not appearing?

 

[mooge]

not mine-

an M3 with a Leicavit, summicron 35 and SBLOO finder. that's like the dream combo for me... well, sorta.
(M3+Leicavit requires modification, if you were wondering)


ever since I got my M2, I've wanted an M3. mostly because they look so awesome.
(further proof that I spend way too much time here. )

I'm in love. <3

Olympus Pen FV (1968)

And if we're thinking SLR's (shock horror) a black OM-1 is hard to go past IMO!
