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

Kodak Medalist 2. No batteries, 6x9 film size, great lens and able to shoot sheet film. A little heavy but build like a tank.

Cool. And stylish, too.
 
This is a tough one.
I am absolutely loving my 4x5 w/ 90mm Fujinon right now, so much so that picking up and looking through any other camera just doesn't seem right. If I was doomed to stay in this country for the rest of my life, that would be it. But I've also developed a love for traveling overseas as often as money allows, and for the places I like to go and way I like to travel, 4x5 is simply not an option. A Mamiya 7ii would be a pretty good compromise I think, but I can't bring myself to say something other than 4x5
 
My Xpan + 45mm lens.
 
The RB67 wins hands down if I could only have one (well-equipped) camera. Or the F3, which I've only used for a few weeks. In fact these two cameras would get my votes for best all-around MF and 35mm cameras.

I have a RB67 which I agree with you about MF. I have an old Canon F1 which I really love to use and my personal best all-around 35mm.

Two consecutive replies now from people whose "if you could only have one camera"-camera are two cameras.
This thread is losing its focus.
 
The camera that has served me the longest and loved me the most has been my Contax G2 and the 45mm lens. If I had to choose just one for the rest of my life, however, it would probably be my newest flame, a Mamiya 7ii with the 80mm lens.
