The original post:

Feel free to add your own lists. I'll start things off.

This week, I have film loaded in the following cameras, ready for some pleasurable shooting.

Nikon F with plain e/l finder, 50mm f1.4 lens

Minolta XE-7 with 58mm f1.4

Soligor Reflex ( 6x6 SLR ) with 52mm f3.5 Kaligar

Ricoh 35 Flex

Agfa Optima 1

Fujica 35-EE
 
I have a roll of Plus-X in my baby Crown Graphic. Also using my OM-3Ti with some Pan-F+.
 
Well,

My Minolta Autocord is expected back from Karl Bryan tomorrow, so I'll be testing it out, and I have my trusty $10.00 SRT-200 with me wherever I go. Sean, how do you like the Fujica 35-EE? I have one that doesn't work, but If I ever find somebody to work on it, it is something I'd love to play around with.
 
It seems I've always got a camera or two with film in it waiting to be used. Right now:

Nikon F4 / Sigma 15-30mm w/ deep yellow gel; with some old Panatomic-X (tripod mandatory)

Canon EOS-1 / Canon EF 22-55mm; with t-max 100

Zeiss Ikonta 521/2 - 105mm 3.5 Novar; with Arista 400

I usually have film in one of my Holgas too, but for some reason not at the moment. Like to have them ready for use at moments notice, cause I'll take pictures of just about ANYTHING with them!
 
Yashica 24 with some slightly expired Konica 220 color neg film.

Minolta XE-5/MD Rokkor-X 50mm 1.7 with a roll of Fuji 200 print film.

Yashica GSN with Arista Premium 400 (Tri-X)

Kodak Retina IIIS/Schneider-Kreuznach Retina Curtagon 28mm/4 with Arista Premium (Tri-X)

And I'm chomping at the bit waiting for a delivery of some Acros 120 so I can spool a roll onto a 620 spool to test a recently acquired Kodak Reflex II.

During the weekdays: As always, an M6 with my 50mm Summilux ASPH, loaded with Tri-X (or HP5). On the weekend: the Blads loaded with E100VS and PanF Plus/FP4 Plus.
 
This week I've been shooting Fuji Professional 400H in my Canon EF.
 
Shot a roll yesterday in my Voightlander vitomatic, will, if the weather permits, shoot roll in my Zeill Ikon Contina folder, and also have a roll of 120 in my Ensign selfix 820, just waiting for the gales and heavy rain to go.

Pen D, S or EE

Pan F+ or Kentmere 100

a roll a day! (though I'm going to go broke doing it)
 
Starting Saturday, I'll be shooting my 12 gauge, with my Pentax P&S in my vest pocket. Spring gobbler season starts! I'll be in the woods before sun-up and listening to the coyotes howling and the elk bugling. Hopefully maybe a tom or three will make an appearance. I love this time of year.
 
I just finished shooting a roll of Plus-X 120 in my Certo Certix. Expired 1989 but frozen since new so I suspect the developed roll will be fine. Next up will be a Plus-X roll in my Agfa Isolette. Only 17 rolls of the Plus-X left so I've been trying out Acros 100 as a replacement.
 
Just picked up a Kodak 35 and couple rolls of Plus-X (fresh) from Kaufmann's (a favorite local camera store).

Home CLA went well. Tip: Leave "Wind" knob on the top deck after removing its retaining screw. The little springs and cylinders that enforce winding direction will pop out. Thought I had it together but when I went to bed I found a spring in my hair.

The "huge" mirror makes the rangefinder suprisingly clear and bright.

I know what the camera can do because I had one of these in high school, and have a print taken by one up at the front door.
 
Mamiya 645 with Acros 100 at my daughter's graduation.
 
Changed my mind this morning and loaded Panatomic-X instead.

Thought I'd lost, but found a filter adapter I made for it that lets me use my 49mm filters. Since I recently did sensitometry on the film I know I'll get full 32 speed so set the meter to 16 for the yellow filter.
 
Linhof tech III 5x7 with either a 210 xenar or a 300 Comm. Ektar

might take my rolleiflex (3.5 MX) as backup and Chinon memotron for fun too
 
I just loaded up my F5 and headed out into the garden to shoot a roll.
 
M1911 Schmidt-Rubin rifle, handloads.

In the camera (Nikon F, plain prism, various lenses) I have a roll of that old classic Tri-X.
 
I shooting a rodeo this weekend and have the M6 loaded with Delta 100 and the CL loaded with Delta 400. The CL has a Zeiss 18mm on it while the M6 has the 50mm Zeiss planar. I have an M9 in the bag as well with a couple more lenses.
I'm pumped about using it this weekend.

I am doing a test run for trip to Iceland, Sigma SA 9, SA 7 with 42mm adaptor, SD9 (color) cannon QL III, Minolta Weathermatic, 3 Sigma Zooms 28 to 105, 100 to 300 and 28 to 80, Pentax 42mm 50 1.8 28 2.7 100 2.8 200 4.0. I will be shooting a roll of TriX, Tmax 100, Porta 400.
 
This weekend, a 13 X 18 cm Gilles-Faller, with Foma 400 Iso; and a 4 1/4 X 3 1/4 RB Graflex series D (c 1929), with a "23" rollfilm adapter and Tri-X 320.
Past weekend, a Rolleiflex 2,8D with TMax 100.
 
This week I will mostly be shooting:-

RB67 with fomapan and FP4
Pentax Espio Mini & HP5
Leica M6 & Agfa APX 100

And finally some digital as I have to shoot a friend of a friend's wedding. What can I say? It pays for the film :smile:
 
I have just finished a roll of Fujifilm Provia in my Zeiss Ikon Nettar 515 (120 half frame). I find this produces excellent results at f8 and smaller.

My first roll of reversal film since the early 1970s and my first colour film for a long time. Hope the colour results are as good as the monochrome has been with this camera.
 
Nikon F3HPs with Portra 160NC and XP2 and a Nikon F2 Photomic with DP1 with Kodak Ultra Color 400.
