Started out with Pentax (PZ-1), in the 90s
Switched over to a Canon G3 high end compact in 2002
Back to the (D)SLR world with D80/D300 in around 2006/2008
Around 2014 I got back into analog via Polaroid then back to film right after that and decided that it made more sense to get a F100 body so I could share lenses.

So today, Nikon system, with a tiny (2 lenses) Pentax system in reserve.
Maybe I could call my Polaroid 250 Land Automatic a 'system' as well being as I have a flash, self timer, a couple of close up lenses, and filters as accessories.

I'm considering a 2nd Nikon body so that at one shoot I could shoot slide, 2 neg films, and digi.

Shooting mostly MF these days 'cause it works, the film breaks into easy stopping points (12 shots) minimizing film burn to get to an end of a roll and change to another emulsion, and it's easy to see what you've done - both good and bad. Oddly, it's seemed a source of "better" feedback for pushing forward but means I'm working it all the time in one way or another: Shooting, Developing, Scanning and Printing.

35mm: 1) Leica M with Zeiss lenses for "sketching" when a small kit will do it best, or when the carry needs to be smaller and more portable than a TLR.
2) Contax S2 SLR to run with Zeiss Contax CY lenses originally acquired to run on an Fuji X-Pro2 that then became a Sony A7RII (I came back to film via this route)
120: 1) Rolleiflex 6008-Integral and 6008-Pro: for the "serious" stuff when I'm feeling pretentious. Full set of lenses and landscape filters.
2) Finding the above on the chunky side, I've picked up Rolleiflex 3.5E and 3.5F Xenotars for more portable, everyday 6X6 MF

Currently TLR's are getting the most love.
