For the rest of your life you could only have one camera.

Of the cameras I currently own - probably the OM1n.

But the Mamiya C330 and the Mamiya 645 Pro would be calling, and the Koni-Omegas would have their noses out of joint .

It would be a tough choice between the Leica M6 and the Rollei 2.8F. I'd probably end up with the Leica, just because it's even more portable than the TLR. I can slip the M into a pocket; can't do that with the Rollei.
 
One camera for the rest of my life?
Of the ones I own...My Nikon F4s.
Of ones I don't own (but did MANY years ago)...Nikon F2A.
 
My Fuji GW670 II - if limited to just one camera. I love using my 4x5 and 5x7, but my fuji would win out because of its portability.
Now, if I owned a 7x17 that would be a different story.

Of the cameras I currently or have owned, my Contax G1. I would really hate giving up LF, but there are places I can go and things I can do with the G1 that just can't happen with LF.

Of all the cameras I have, the 4x5" Linhof Tech V is the most versatile. That's the one I'd keep, if I could only keep one.
 
Assuming continued film availability, either a 5x7 or 8x10. They're slow, but I love them.
 
I do not like this game. I am going home and taking all my cameras with me. Eric, you do not play nice. I am going to tell your mommy!

Eric is a big meanie!

If I had to live with just one, it would be my Koni-Omega (with lots of 220 film).
 
The last camera I'd consider getting rid of would be the Speed Graphic I inherited from my father. So I guess that would be it.
 
I'd have to go with my old friend RB67 and 50mm 90mm 127mm and 250mm lenses,if I can only have one lens it'll be the 50-she's a beauty!
 
Of the cameras I have, it would be the OM-3Ti. Of the cameras I don't have, it would probably be the Leica M7.

However, to make this even more challenging, you can ONLY HAVE ONE LENS to go along with the one body.
 
Well, assuming everyone else is also restricted I'd choose my 11x14" Sinar P conversion so I had the biggest format - tee hee ...

Knowing these forums I'll probably get trumped by a 20x24" Polaroid in due course

And it can't be a zoom..oh, now this is getting ridiculous!

If I can use all my lens' it would be the Nikon F4.

One prime lens probably the Mamiya 7 with the 80mm.
 
 
My Canon F1 AE,with the 50mm 1.4 lens
 
I keep looking at this thread and can't make up my mind.

At the moment it would be my Rolleicord V.

Probably my F FTn with the F-36 repaired, and my 85f1.8 attached to it. It's odd that I'm attracted to my oldest Nikon F series body, even though the F2A is more convenient and has a faster top shutter speed, as does the F3P and the F4... The 85f1.8 is a lens that I have this strange bond to... Have always liked the 85mm focal length, and especially liked the manual focus 1.8 version.

I never thought I would say that I like something better than my F3HP with a 2.5 105 Nikkor.

My Shen Hao 4x5" with my Caltar f/6.3 215mm is something that I have been warming to for a couple of years now, this would do me.

just a box camera or a graflex slr.
something plain and simple.
