What camera does everyone have/use?

[ksmattfish]

Here I am this morning with my latest user, a Super Graphic 4x5 press camera. It is photographed with a Schneider Super Angulon 90mm f/8 lens (like a 28mm focal length lens for 35mm camera). I also have a Schneider Symmar 150mm f/5.6 (can be converted to a 265mm f/12). Other lenses that hopefully will be ready to go sometime: 2 Schneider G-Claron (close-up/macro) lenses that are beautiful glass, but need shutters and lens boards, and a couple of old Kodak LF lenses that need boards and some cleaning/repair.

Most of the time this camera will be on a tripod, but it has a great focusing scale on top of the camera so I can actually use it hand held.

man, you guys have some serious gear--I only use a Canon T70, and some toys to go with it...but, I did have the chance to upgrade, and well, to be honest, I was unimpressed by the new cameras out there..that rebel is a light weight peice of junk...so, I stuck with my T70, and frankly, I am glad I did. it shoots beautifully.....

..that rebel is a light weight peice of junk....

I've shot several cameras that cost 2 and 3 times as much as my 300D and am still floored by the quality, speed, color rendition, bang-for-buck, etc. of the Canon.

There is no such thing as too many cameras.

Can you tell that to my husband? Maybe he would believe it if he heard it from someone else. When I got the 10D, he said that something (expensive) had to go. So... I had to sell my Olympus E-20N. :cry:

Silly me didn't check your link first. Man Oh Man have you gotten me beat! Maybe I should show that list to my hubby. Then he can count his blessings that my gear only takes up one cabinet.

My wife has just accepted that she married a camera junky. "Ending Today" in the vintage cameras section on Ebay is my porn.

I shot my first pics with the Super Graphic (at the top of this page) the other day. I don't know how I did landscape this long without front tilt. With a 150mm lens (normal for 4x5) and the Scheimflug (spelling?) Principle I was able to achieve DOF like I've never seen; everything from about 3.5' in front of me to infinity in sharp focus at f/16.

Shamrock, I thought I was going to be the first/only one but you beat me to it. Mainly because I have been out of town using the one I bought right before my trip.

Minolta Maxxum 7
Minolta 303si
Canon Powershot 230 3.2MP
