If you were a camera...

If you were to be reincarnated as a camera, what would you be?

I'll start with Speed Graphic.

This should be an interesting thread... Please think carefully before you post.

I'd have to be a Nikon F3HP since it's my favorite 35mm camera.

hmmm...something kinda cheap and sloppy, not the most high-end camera in the world, yet well made, versatile and capable of producing nice results if you put the time and effort in...I would have to say a Graphic as well. I'd like to be a 2x3 Speed with an RH-8 back, I think...and I would like to be shot by a photojournalist every day, not put on the shelf as a curiosity.

If I had a second choice, it would be a Mamiya Press Super 23. Same basic idea as the 2x3 Speed Graphic, but a bit different.

Kalart Press Camera.

Stunningly beautiful,totally advanced for it's time, totally obsolete when made. A great piece of engineering, and less than 5% of them still work.

Kinda like the Fiat of cameras. That's me.

Exakta VX iia, because that was my first serious camera, and I am kind of old fashioned in a lot of ways.
