Your Favorite 35mm Camera?

[nsurit]

Whichever one I happen to have in my hands at the time and that would most like be an Olympus OM 2S or any of the other single digit OMs (1,1n,2,2n,3,4 or 4T). Yes, I don't yet have the 3T, but until then . . . Bill Barber

Luckily, I don't think I'll ever have the opportunity to fall in love with any of these cameras.

I have a few 35mm cameras that I love to use, but when it comes to using one camera for very important stuff, I use my Contax RTS 3.

Have used a lot of 35mm cameras over the last few decades, but the nicest, most flexible, and useful (not the smallest though) I've ever owned is Canon's 1VHS. I've had one for many years now and have never regretted the price. I'll never sell it....

My favorite of all time was my Konica T which I sold to buy a Nikon F becasue I need a motor drive. Great lens, strong, great meter. My current fav is my Sigma SA 9, has lot of features like mirror lock up, spot and matrix metering, light weight and has a shutter speed dial, auto focus is not very good but I usally manual focus. I also really liked my Nikon F2 with drive.

Oh, Bill. Admit it, you want one Baaaaaaaaad.

Tell you what. Let's do an OM-Only Workshop. I'll let you use mine. :)

You mean I have to choose?
with rangefinders: Leica M3, no brainer.

SLR, I would have to say the Nikon FM.

I own a lot of pre Ai bodies (F, Photomic Tn, Nikkormat, and F2) and two AE bodies F3hp and FE. The FM is simple, reliable, compact and reliable, plus if the batteries die, it's not a paperweight.

Nikkormat FTN. I like the EL also, but the FTN is such a clean and simple design, and feels right in my hands.

[rthomas]

Nikon F with the standard prism (no meter), and an 85mm f/1.8.

[Donald Boyd]

My all time favorite is the Nikon FM.

[Java]

HMM!

Nikon F4s best handleing camera made, just wish it was lighter :D

Other then that Olympus OM4, small quiet, good meter, great glass.

[RH Designs]

OM-4ti, no contest!

[benjiboy]

I can't answer you're question, It's like being asked which of you're children you love the most, I like them all for different reasons.

[Paul Goutiere]

My Welta Welti 1, hands down, my favorite.

[KingJon]

Leica M4P or Oly OM4Ti depending on my mood at the time.

[Bill Harrison]

Leica M6, although I'll as easily grab the M2 or M3. Love and respect my Nikon F and F2's for slr work.

[séamuis]

when it comes to actual use I would say my Asahi Pentax MX. but for sheer love I would say my Spotmatic.

[luxikon]

Leica M6 with some fine Leitz and Zeiss lenses.

There are favorites, and then there are all-time favorites.

The favorites list changes as I use different cameras. Lately, it's been a Rolleimatic, Agfa Optima-Parat half frame and a Contax IIa.

I probably don't have just one all-time favorite. I have a list of five, which also changes occasionally. This might include a Rolleiflex Automat, a Rollei 35T, Contax IIa, Nikon F2A and (2005) Zeiss Ikon.

[Aurelien]

Zeiss ZI. Like a leica, but cheaper. Same simplicity, Better viewinder. Same lens mount... Only the best, for better price :) And still in production :)
