What's Your *One* Favorite Camera?

[Santiago Montenegro]

Yes, but that is Arsenal. Could be spelled arse-nal, for all I know. Their prices can range from 5 to 10X the real going price, and that is being conservative. 

If you check completed auctions, you will see a very nice one that did not sell for 550. And a serviced one with the 2.0 Sonnar that went for 460, IIRC.

Dean,

We have similar taste in cameras. The Leica IIf and Summitar was also my favorite camera and lens. I used that combination from 1955 to 1968. I had the red dial model. Is yours red or black?  The red dial superceded the black with improved or expanded flash synch speeds, IIRC.

As you can see earlier in this thread, I have supplanted the VC Bessa-R for the Leica IIf, but still use a Summitar (my 4th one)



Julio,

I bought the Olympus 35 SP from a colleague at GTE in the 1980s. He did a little moonlighting selling one item at a time. So many people in our engineering department had 35SPs and the same Casio watch. I loved the 35SP, but gave it away to a former NFF member. I still wear the same model Casio watch.

My one favorite camera is my Nikon F-100 with any lens I frigging want to put on it even if it is a screw mount or a Minolta MD with an adapter.... I have now said what I have to say. Until the next time I have to say something on this. as we are always evolving and as Lester's mistaken post proves we all have older favorites and newer favorites.
