What's your everyday carry camera?

People here are probably tired of me writing about how my Pentax SP500 and 55/2 Super Takumar was my only camera and lens for 15 years - but that truly is all I had. At the end of that period, back in 1986, I should've never considered another camera and just concentrated on a few more lenses.

For 12 years all I had was a Nikkormat with a Nikkor-H 50 f2. Still have them actually, and still shoot them, but I too “expanded” my selection.

I had one NIkon for about 5 years. I acquired a second and made the mistake of leaving it alone in the cabinet with my first Nikon. 6 months later, I had half a dozen. Those Nikons are a randy bunch. I haven't yet figured out which one to neuter.

Please do not underestimate Fuji medium format cameras.
I first had a GA645 and a GA645Wi - this resulted in a GW670III and a GSW690ii.

My EVERY day carry camera is my smartphone. When I want to take a real camera it varies but lately either an M4 or M5.

Nikon N8008s with a Sigma 28-85 zoom and a Tamron 80-210 compact zoom. As I only paid $8.80 for the N8008s during a KEH Xmas sale and the 28-80 was given to me and I paid a whopping $20 for the 80-210 zoom, I carry this in the SUV- if they steal it, I'm only out about $30.

Hmm for small carry my pentax spotmatic with super takumar 35mm lens - but on days when I have more pre-planning a recently refurbished Rolleiflex 3.5f - both are my favorites.

Oh! And of course I forgot to mention my earlier fun walkaround camera - the RB67

Depends on what's loaded with film, usually a new addition to the collection or something I've recently restored.
Currently I'm carrying a Zeiss Super Ikonta 531 loaded with Retropan 320
