If You Had to Pick Two Cameras..

JADoss23 · Jun 5, 2017

If you were to take just two cameras out of your collection an SLR and any other type what would you go with?

Agulliver · Jun 5, 2017

Hmmm...tricky.

one would certainly be either one of my Praktica BX20S SLR's.

As for the second.......probably the Zeiss-Ikon 520/16

MrBrowning · Jun 5, 2017

Either my Arax 88 or Kiev 60 for the SLR and my Speed Graphic. I could get by with just those 2 cameras and be happy.

If you mean a 35mm SLR then my Contax RTS (my only 35mm slr) and my Speed Graphic.

Leica M6 & Nikon F2 by Narsuitus, on Flickr

Difficult as I don't have an slr among my collection, sold my last one yesterday, but for 35mm it would be my Voigtlander rangrfinder, the lenses are just so good an tiny,for Mf it would be my Microcord, again, that ross xpress lens is just so good, knocks Tesser's into a cocked hat

RichardJack · Jun 5, 2017

For me it would be my Nikon F3 and Minolta XD11. That was a very difficult question and assume that you meant only 35mm.

Does picking out from my collection mean to use or to get rid of? If it is to use then my two Hasselblads, 503 CX and 903 SWC.

pbromaghin · Jun 5, 2017

Minolta x-570 and Mamiya C33.

cb1 · Jun 5, 2017

AE1-P
and
RB67

Chan Tran · Jun 5, 2017

If to use and from my own collection then they are the Nikon F3HP and F5.
If to get rid off and also from my collection are the Pentax K1000 and Nikon N2020

Rick A · Jun 5, 2017

Why does one have to be an SLR? I would choose the two that I always carry, My Zeiss Netter and B&J 4x5.

lantau · Jun 5, 2017

Minolta XD7 and Rolleiflex SLX. Not light, depending on number of lenses, but can fit my small photo backpack.

apoglass · Jun 5, 2017

Hasselblad 203FE SLR and Rolleiflex E2 TLR.

Jon Buffington · Jun 5, 2017

My Leica M5 and either my Minolta xd-11 or Nikon FM

Marcelo Paniagua · Jun 5, 2017

Easy one.

Olympus OM1
Leica M6

Would include Rolleiflex sl35e (nice lenses and fun to use), but she has her bad days now and again, so a little bit unreliable at time

Robin Guymer · Jun 5, 2017

Not easy!
Nikon FE2 - still prefer it over the FA.
Leica M3 - just spent $300 on a cla so it needs some use.

So many mentions of Minoltas which makes me pleased with my recent purchase of a X-700 at a bargain price. Maybe it should be one of the chosen.

Ko.Fe. · Jun 5, 2017

My apologies, but I'm finding my EOS 300 to be hardly worth of any collection. This is the only SLR I really need...

John Bragg · Jun 5, 2017

Very tough choice.
Olympus OM1n
Leica M6

JADoss23 · Jun 5, 2017

EDIT: Can change it to just two cameras doesn't have to be an SLR Love reading these.

mshchem · Jun 5, 2017

Fuji GW690III, Bronica SQ-Ai w/ motor grip, Crown Graphic , F5 , F2, Deardorff V8. This is the minimum . How many enlargers and sinks do we get ?

benjiboy · Jun 5, 2017

Canon F1-N AE and Canon F1n.

Maris · Jun 5, 2017

Easy! Mamiya RB67 for film that comes in rolls. Tachihara 8x10 for film that comes in sheets. Why compromise?

dbdotdot · Jun 5, 2017

OM1n
Leica M6 TTL

Oh, heck, I can't help myself... And I'd keep my plastic $1 toy camera.
