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

Bronica RF645

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.

[David A. Goldfarb]

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.

 

[Neanderman]

Assuming continued film availability, either a 5x7 or 8x10. They're slow, but I love them.

 

[Sirius Glass]

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!

[Chazzy]

If I had to live with just one, it would be my Koni-Omega (with lots of 220 film).

 

[bdial]

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.

 

[Alex Bishop-Thorpe]

Nikon FM2N, I've tried to love large and medium format, but I always come back to the little guy.

 

[Alan W]

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!

 

[Ken N]

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.

 

[nick mulder]

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

 

[Tony Egan]

However, to make this even more challenging, you can ONLY HAVE ONE LENS to go along with the one body.

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.

Well Nick when you serve em' up on a silver platter like that how can a guy resist!

Ebony 20 x 24 550 lens and enough film/palladium, collodion to last to the last breath!

cheers

Nikon FM2N, I've tried to love large and medium format, but I always come back to the little guy.

I feel the same about the original FM that I have...

 

[benjiboy]

My Canon F1 AE,with the 50mm 1.4 lens

 

[Steve Smith]

I keep looking at this thread and can't make up my mind.

At the moment it would be my Rolleicord V.

[Steve Smith]

I'd choose my 11x14" Sinar P conversion so I had the biggest format -

And you could hide some other cameras inside.

[John_Nikon_F]

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.

[removed account4]

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

 

[photogolf]

My F4.
