How many cameras do you have loaded with film right now?

Mamiya RB67, Mamiya C220, Mamiya C33, Bronica S2, Nikon F, Nikon F2A, Nikon F4S Nikon FE, Nikon FA, Nikon FG, Nikon F100, Canon 7 rangefinder and a Holga. A bakers dozen.
Way too many I know but I like choices and I do use them all.
 
After just returning from vacation in Russia, I have film loaded in the 4 soviet rangefinders I returned home with.

Kiev IIa: I’ve already shot and developed several rolls with this camera, so I know it works. It was CLA’d by gentlehands in Niziny Novgorod before I picked it up from photrio user alexvaras who helped arrange it. Leaded with Fuji Superia 400

I bought a few ultra cheap cameras from Photolubitel in St. Petersburg, and the all have a test roll in them that I haven’t finished:

FED 2: Ultrafine Xtreme 100
Zorki 1: Ultrafine Xtreme 400
NKVD FED: Ultrafine Xtreme 400

I don’t know if it counts, but I also have 2 4x5 film holder loaded with Fomapan 100 for my new (to me) Linhof Technika.
 
Rolleiflex 3.5F with Portra 160 NC (2007). Last frame has been waiting to be exposed for last 3 weeks...
 
Nikon FG with Kodak 200. Minolta 16 II and Kodak Instamatic 60 with Kodak Microfilm. I've been on a 16mm run for a few weeks now.
 
Topcon 35-L with Eastman 5302 from 1972
Spotmatic with Superia X-Tra 400
Praktica L2 with expired Superia 1600
 
Nikon FM2 with fresh TMAX 3200@1600
Olympus OM2n with expired (circa 2011) TMAX 3200@1600
Nikon FE with expired (circa 2011) Fomapan 400@200
 
Just my leica IIIc, has HP5 loaded, about 20 frames left.

Up until a week ago my filmo-70 had about a minute of film left, I think it was in there for a few years.

Which type of film and how/where will it be processed?

I still have double-8mm K II in the refrigerator that I need to send to Film Rescue.
 
120: Three A-12 backs loaded with PanF+; two A-12s loaded with E100G.

35mm: Nikon F2 and F5 loaded with Tri-X; Nikon F6 loaded with E100G.
 
Just two, Pentax ME Super with TMAX 400 and Mamiya C330 with Rollei Infrared.
More than that is just too many to handle.

Pentax K2 - Kodak PlusX (my last PX bulk roll on its way to the end...)
Olympus Trip 35 - Agfapan 400
Agfa Isolette III (Solinar & Synchro-Compur) - Fomapan 200
 
Canon FT QL - Kodak Tmax 400 at 1600
Minolta XE-5 - Arista.EDU Ultra 100
Voigtlander Vito CLR - Lomography CN 400
A borrowed Zenza Bronica ETRSi - Kodak Ektar 100
And I'm going to chuck a roll of Lomography CN 800 in the Canon A-1 when I get home tonight
 
I have loaded 5x7, 8x10 and 11x14 holders. Also film in the Rolleicord.

Like Vaughn I have the DDS film holders loaded 10x8, 7x5, and 5x4, that gives me the freedom to choose the camera I feel best suited. With 5x4 that may be a pre-Anniversary Speed Graphic to use with a Cooke Triplet or Petzval, my Wista for most work, or my Super Graphic for hand held use/ As I have some of the 5x4 DDS loaded with HP5 and others with Delta 100 that gives me great flexibility.

I'm not keen on leaving MF cameras loaded, so don't if I can help it after losing most of a roll of Pan F left too long in an MPP Microflex.

Pan F is not a good film for occassional partial roll shooters, to be sure. The Rolleicord is on frame #5 (TMax400) from my trip to Watkins Glen (NY) in May -- I should take a walk around town.
 
I currently have two View-Master cameras loaded with film right now, Fuji Velvia 100 in my View-Master Personal Stereo Camera and Kodak Ektachrome 100 in my View-Master Mark II. It takes me a while to shoot 75 stereo pairs, I really need to get at least one of them to the end of the roll.
 
Why would you load a camera if you are not going to use it immediately? Leave your film in the fridge until you are ready to shoot. That way you won't have sixteen cameras with expired film in them.

I have just noticed this thread. Can anyone say in what way this thread has entertained, educated or informed their photography over its time period of 4 years? By and large it is just lists of cameras, isn't it with little or no relevance as a list to anyone except the poster?

Presumably it is only I who see things this way otherwise the thread would have died very quickly. So what is it that I am missing? If we'd met in bar in 2015 we'd have listed our cameras with film in them in say 5-10 minutes, should even such a question have arisen in this way and moved on to other matters.

I wonder what it is about the dynamics of a forum that sustains this kind of a thread?

Thanks

There is a similar one about the last film one developed (and camera used). Don't think you are missing anything. It is just like saying hello to someone when your paths cross...a social thing.

I just realized this was in the 35mm film area -- I have a 35mm camera somewhere, a Nikon 2002, but I have not seen it in a decade or so. Hopefully there is no film in it. Last time I used it was to photograph a friend's wedding...and that is the last wedding I plan to do.
