What's your everyday carry camera?

Fotoguy20d · Sep 2, 2014

I had the M3 at Steamtown yesterday so it didn't make it back into my everyday bag so today was a Bessa-R with Jupiter-8

Usually a Yashicamat 124 or a Holga.

Rolleiflex 2.8E. It's the camera I grab on the way out the door if I think I want to take pictures but don't have a very specific goal in mind. Or the goal is the kind of pictures it takes. When I travel, it is my #1 choice of camera.

Franka Bonafix folder. Love the 6x9 format in a light, fairly compact package.
Sometimes I'll grab my Agfa Clack or my Zeiss Box Tengor if I'm in the mood.
Serious action on a hike calls for my Rolleiflex 2.8C. The image quality is unbeatable.

Kind of depends.

With a little over 60 rolls through it for daily carry this year it would have to be the little Leica Null Serie.

After that the Fuji 645GAZ and Ikoflex IIa are tied with 34 rolls apiece, though the Fuji has been catching up for the last 3 weeks.

Large format has been my RB Auto Graflex. No, it isn't a daily carry but lately I have been packing it and a nice tripod several times a week. It's been a nice change.

Right now.. Rollei 3.5 T and Canon QL17. Like most of us, I switch out camera's. There is a lot of us with the Leica M3's. I would to have one of those.

I have one of those fancy smart phones. People say it has a camera but I don't know where to put the film. :confused:

One of my friends collects cellphones from everyone he knows and works with, every time they 'upgrade'.
What he does is tie by string from trees around his camp. The we sit on the porch and drink beer and shoot them.
Occasionally we use them for skeet.

If I has the $$$, a Fuji 645 of some sort would always ride with me
Until then, the Nikon FE2 is my baby

I have a lot of options because I am a ridiculously impressionable person! Some of the favorites: Oly XA, Welta Weltur 6x4.5, Fuji Silvi, Vivitar 35em, Zarya, Braun Paxette family, Kodak Monitor 620, etc etc etc. All can do the job! I prefer folders and compact 35's generally-- TLRs are too bulky for my tastes (though I have 3, or is it 4?). I just bought a Clarus, fercryinoutloud. Somebody help me!!!

It depends. Currently is a canon f1 (new) with the 50 1.4. It could be the canonet 17, the hasselblad 500cm or (rarely) when I'm feeling really strong enough the polaroid 600se
(And when I'm in the mood of remembering the days as film was the only option, my trusty, lightweight and silent eos30)

My regular carry camera is a Pentax K10 with a 24-60mm Sigma f2.8 Limited on it. I always have a small pack in my car that has a Pentax MX, a 200mm Pentax-M lens, a 35mm Pentax Macro Limited lens, and either a Minolta Autocord or a Mamiya C220 as well, loaded with HP5 film.

I'll supplement this pack depending on where I'll be going and what I'm likely to shoot. This was pretty standard for me, even a couple of years ago when I was hardly shooting film at all. I was never comfortable leaving film behind, using it or not.

My regular go-to MF is my Minolta Autocord.

Rarely carry only one camera away from home, but when it happens, it'll either be an XPan or an OM-D.

So, I looked into my camera bag today and instead of the little Kodak Duo, there's a RZ67 staring back at me. Oh wait . . . this is a different camera bag.

Gimenosaiz · Sep 5, 2014

Hi.
Always the Hapo 66-E and ... today I also carry the Nikon FE with Nikkor 85 f/2 AIS (black and white) and Rollei 35 S (color) ...

Nikon F3 HP.

everday is another camera

removed-user-1 · Sep 6, 2014

My usual walking around camera is a motorized Nikon F3HP with a 50mm f/1.8 Nikkor. (My students think that is crazy). Sometimes I swap it for a Yashica Lynx 14e (45mm f/1.4 Yashinon).

rthomas, what about it do they think is crazy?

rince · Sep 7, 2014

Rolleiflex 2.8F Planar 90% of the time , ZeroImage 6x9 for the other 10%

8x10 Chamonix

I think I may have spoken too soon earlier. I guess my daily camera depends more on my needs than on what I think. Yesterday I needed the 80/2 Planar for some indoor work so I packed the Contax II and not my Zeiss Ikon.

Terrific camera that. Smooth, quick and quite easy to focus. Easy to see why it was considered such a serious contender against Leica.

When I have time to purposefully photo walk around, which isn't often, either a Fuji GF670 RF (for more dynamic subjects) or a Mamiya C330S TLR (for more static subjects).

When I just want to always have a camera available in case those pesky Martians finally and unexpectedly land right in front of my headlights on a dark deserted highway, a Canonet QL17 GIII (with a little Metz 20 C-2 flash).
