Your Favorite 35mm Camera?

And if you want a camera you can beat somebody to death with, you can't beat a good old Zenith.

I thought Zenith made TVs.

Don't bring a Zenit to a Mamiya Universal fight.

My top 3......

F3
F4
8008s

I've owned so many cameras over the years it's hard to pick one as my favorite, so here's a short list:

Nikon F (the one and only)
Nikon SP (I wish I'd held on to this one...worth a small fortune with the 50 f/1.1 lens!)
Canon F-1/F-1n (damned near indestructible)
Canon T-90 (everything but autofocus)
Nikon F4 (big, heavy and almost indestructible)
Nikon N90s (too much plastic but rock solid)

I currently have 3 N90s and one 8008s SLRs. Thinking about buying an F100 or an F5.

Sold my OM1 gear, still a bit sad about it...

Every time I see this, it makes me feel better about still having the OM-1 I bought in high school, c1977. It needs service, and I'm having issues with packing it in a box and sending it away.

Bought another OM-1 last week for $42 to get through the separation anxiety, but I haven't put film in it yet.

Having just praised the Olympus OM1 in another thread, it a close call between that classic and my Leica M6. Somehow for looks and feel my venerable Leica IIIF may be the one I’d take to a desert island though.

My favorite 35mm camera must be my OM2n. However, my most-used is definitely the ME Super I bought for $15. It's completely beat up, which means I can take it everywhere and throw it around and if it breaks, I'll buy another one on eBay.

The one I currently use: Canon F-1N.

I have owned many 35mm cameras over the years and I must say that my pair of Nikon F5s are insanely great. The metering is bloody near impossible to fool and they are built like a tank. In fact the strap broke on one of them on a very cold morning and the camera just bounced off the ice on the road. Don
