Sentimental wise - the Yashica fxd that my dad took pics of me as a kid with, along with its 50 1.4 planar. Learned photography on it when I was 7, and was used to teach my cousin in her college course- missing leather and screws, but it's the one
I am taking a 2cm piece of 1/4-20 all thread rod and screwing it into the tripod socket of my dads OM-1. The other end will be inserted into my Rolleiflex 3.5F. Now I have one camera and that is my keeper.

lol, I like your thinking... I'll have to get a seven-pointed star piece of 1/4-20 all-thread and insert each star point into the tripod sockets of my cameras, so I have one camera.
Ok so the headline is a bit dramatic, but what would be the last camera you gave up if for one reason or another it all had to go ? I have several nice cameras, but the choice would not be perhaps as rational or obvious as some may think. I think if push came to shove, my Leica M6 and Nikons would go and the humble but efficient OM1n would stay. How about you ?
My Nikon F has the most sentimental value--a bar mitzvah gift from my dad that was my main user for many years. Still works, but not getting used so much these days. As a user, the Hasselblad might win. At this point they are almost different classes of objects for me.
