Which brand of camera do we use the most?

Olympus OM-1n and OM-2sp mostly. Sometimes with EOS 650 with EF 50mm f/1.4.
 
35MM Canon FDs, M/F Mamiya TLRs these do everything I require.
 
Never thought about it. I think probably the Leica CL followed by the Bronica ETRS in the past few years after coming to Canada the opposite, the Bronica followed by the Leica. Before that the Bronica, then Polaroid 180 and 195, Rolleiflex Automat and T and then the Leica.

It is not that I preferred one over the other but more towards what and how I was shooting, well until lately when Polaroid film is no longer available and the Fuji film is scarce up here and the Automat was sold, the T needs the shutter cla'd and the Bronica has become too heavy due to my illness but hopefully that will become a non-issue in about a year when all of my surgeries and recover is over.
 
In film, Canon, followed by Rollei, Kiev, and Ricoh. However, most of my film photos were probably taken years ago with an Exakta.
 
R.H. Phillips 8x10 and 7x17

hasselblad/rollei/arca

All about the same. I have only shot the arca for the last month though. It is the one I have had the shortest time.
 
Disability has made me change the ratio. I now mostly do landscape & macro work.

Landscape - LF (Ebony) 10% - when possible
Macro/Landscape - MF (Mamiya 645 & 7) 30% - during pain flare-ups
Macro/architectural interiors (where tripods forbidden*) - 35mm (Nikon F4) 60%

*National Trust properties in the UK demand that if you use a tripod you hand over your copyright on any images taken, to them!
 
Leica (Leicaflex SL/SL2, R5 + M6), about 65%
Rolleiflex (SL35-E & 3003), about 20%
Pentax (6x7), about 10%
"Other", about 5%

(Nikon down from around 90% 10 years ago or so to nearly 0% today)

Zeiss Nettar with the Mamiya C220 a close second. The Nikon FM2 has become a collectors piece. For large format, Speed Graphics.

Boy has that changed in five years...

35mm - Zorki 1 or the Nikon FM2
120 - RB 67
LF - Deardorff 8x10
 
120 - Rollei 6006 and Mamiya C220.
35mm - Leica M and Canon F-1

About 75% of my work now is medium format. Five years ago, 75% was 35mm.

Hasselblads & Nikons, no questions asked, 90%, or more, of the time.

The rest of it is the Rolleiflex, Pentax 67, or various other 35mm cameras.
 
Since this is a 35mm camera area, I'll stick to that format. In 35mm it's Nikon, unquestionably. I've had at least one, and as many as four, of their SLRs in my possession for most of the last 20 years and I have shot many hundreds of rolls of film with them. At the moment I am down to just one F3HP.

I've also got Pentax, Olympus, and Canon cameras floating around but they don't see a tenth as much use (the Pentax is a "collectible," the Olympus cameras are point-n-shoots, and the Canons are really my wife's cameras).
 
Mamiya 645
Kowa 6
Olympus OM2-SP
Minolta XE-1
