Inspired by the Nikon F3 thread, I was thinking about cameras I've liked and wanted, ever since I started taking pictures. And which ones I'd like to own. I already have a small collection, and I hope to one day own all the Nikon F cameras (already have the F4 and F5). But there's loads more, and the wish list seems to grow all the time. So; what are your favourite film cameras, and which ones would you have in your own 'collection', if you could? And why?
I'll start (cameras I own in bold):
Nikon F, F2, F3, F4, F5, F100, F801s, FM2, FM3A, FA, Nikon S rangefinder, perhaps a Nikonos V
Pentax K1000, LX, 67, Auto 110 Super (owned one as a kid, totally useless now but such a lovely little thing with the tiny lenses)
Canon EOS1, F1n, T90, A1
Vivitar V2000 (first ever 35mm SLR bought, took me through college, cheap but an excellent, simple little camera)
Olympus OM4Ti, XA (always loved the design, and they have cracking little lenses), Trip 35, SP 35
Minolta 7000 -first AF SLR, iconic. Plasticky and gimicky, but an extremely important camera.
Hasselblad 503CXi (or a 500 Classic or similar, but the 503CXi is a nice 'Blad. Gotta have a 'Blad...)
Leica 111 of some description, not so fussed, M6.2 (the pinnacle of the Leica M-series imo)
Contax RTS3 (gorgeous, so well built, and CZ lenses!)
Rolleiflex TLR Just because really.
Praktica MTL3 or similar, first 35mm SLR I learnt on.
The list is constantly being revised and added to. Maybe some boring and obvious choices, but they're mine. I also have a few old AF compacts that I need to shift tbh. And some old crap like a plastic Polaroid thing, an original Zenit Lomo (not working sadly cos they fetch silly money on Ebay), and a bright yellow Minolta UW 110 camera.
What would YOU have?
