I have a Nikon D70S that my wife and I have used to capture Gigs unpon Gigs worth of portrait and family photos. I also use a Nikon CoolPix for quick carry photo ops. I hope to get a D300S for myself soon as the wife hogs the D70s.

I owned a Canon EOS 350D some years ago and used it daily the first couple weeks. Then I started to leave it at home when going out because it felt so big and awkward to carry with me. I sold it to my brother and he's barely used it.

I want a small, easy-to-carry camera that I can take with me anywhere I go. I just love the look of the Leica cameras, my dream would be to own a Leica M9, or an analog Leica for that matter.

I will probably settle for a Canon though, it will take a while before I can afford the $8,000 price tag that the Leica M9 has here in Sweden.

Primarily use my Nikon D40.
Also have a Kodak Z700 P&S, for when I don't want to carry around the D40.

I still have a Canon Rebel G film SLR, but never use it.

I am also a film camera guy.

Here's my cache in order of favoritism:
(Primary Camera) Graflex Speed Graphic with a modern Schneider 150mm f/5.6 lens.
Fuji 6x7 Rangefinder
Hasselblad 500CM with 80mm C T* f/2.8
Nikon F5
Nikon D300 (easily the least used)

I think that film, especially the 4x5 stocks, have a quality and an unbending holiness to them that digital can't even breathe the same airspace as yet.

Nice rig(s) Aaron. The Speed graphics are fun.

Which Fuji do you use? The new folder made by Cosina/Voightlander? Or one of the other fixed lens ones?

Two Ricoh KR-5 Super II's with a few lenses each
One Yashica MAT-124
One SINAR-F View Camera with a 150mm Schneider
and for Digital and Pentax K100D with 18-55 and a Promaster 100mm Macro lens


I sell cameras for a living, and I get along just fine with this equipment for personal use.
