While I am almost certain it would not be 35mm, if it were, my Leica M3. As it would probably be medium format, I would keep my Hasselblad 500CM or my Rolleicord 4. If I could keep a camera with only one lens, it would be the Rolleicord. With Multi-lenses, the Hasselblad...........Regards!I'm sure it's been asked before. You can only keep one of your cameras. Which one will it be?
By the time I found a way to use "smartphone images" in my darkroom, they will be obsolete and my wristwatch will be shooting film that unfolds into 4x5 for enlarging, etc. At my age, I don't plan to wait around until any of that takes place.........I have no idea why my posts are repeated on two pages. Must ask Sean what I am doing wrong...............Regards!What about your smartphone? Why does no one want to keep their smartphone?
Hi!!Oh, forgot mine ... Maybe we can keep two ?
Hi all! Let's open a new can of worms. What one photograph that you have made would you keep? Please post photos. On second thought how about four photos?

Hi all
My first post here.
My Rolleiflex 2.8E c.1959
Traded a loved Super Ikonta IV back in 1987. Really lusted after a 2.8F however a trade in my favour in the end. Been look for another Super Ikonta IV since.
Cheers and thank you for the welcome!Welcome, Javieref!
I understand about the Super Ikonta IV. I had one a few years back, having gotten it for a ridiculously small amount (mistaken listing on Ebay so no one else saw it). But I was offered so much money for it I went ahead and sold it.
I've recently worked on a IV and a III and have been reminded how much I like them. So when I came across a III with a Tessar at a good price, I bought it. I'll pick it up at the post office tomorrow.
In case you weren't certain, the Super Ikonta III and IV are basically the same camera. The IV has the meter, obviously, but that is simply cut into the same body as a III. The IV has an EV system on the shutter which someone like me disables as soon as possible. And the IV has a Tessar while most IIIs have the Novar-Anastigmat. There are IIIs with Tessars.
As to me and one camera, I thought I'd never say anything but Rolleiflex. But I keep shooting the Kodak Medalist far more than the Rollei over the last couple of years.
There is a SUPER IKONTA IVCheers and thank you for the welcome!
I know the Super Ikonta will never reach the heights of the Rolleiflex, however that foldable nature of the Ikonta with that 75/3.5 Tessar was sublime. Quiet, stealthy, the rangefinder focus coupled to the knuled focusing ring right through to the cock lever and the picture taking element - the shutter. I had taken many of my early images with the Ikonta IV and will always hold a special place in my heart. I do miss her. A colleague of mind has the Ikonta III (as you posted, with no meter) not sure about lens *though I recall its a Tessar. Beautiful thing. That lovely opening, purposeful click.
I am always on the look out however they are rarer than hen's teeth.
My Rolleiflex 2.8E is a wonderful camera and has it, my one and only 120 format camera.
All the best.
Not heard of the Kodak Medalist *doing a Google search.
not related but how do I make my own post?
My Hasselblad 501CM.
Are you referring to this one? https://ebay.to/2lXHDAtThere is a SUPER IKONTA IV listed on E-BAY now
Yes,it's the only one that I found on E_BAYAre you referring to this one? https://ebay.to/2lXHDAt
My mamiya m645 1000s. I have 19 affordable lenses for it and it shoots awesome photos and better than my digital nikon d750. Only time digital is better is when i shoot in low light like a bar where my friend was playing. Then i shoot at iso 12,800. II'm sure it's been asked before. You can only keep one of your cameras. Which one will it be?
