Lets See Your Camera

Surplus cameras are one thing, it's the worrisome aging film taking up space in the beer fridge...
 
A couple I recently acquired -- a Horseman Convertible and a Leicaflex with 35/2.8.
I haven't shot with them yet.

I've a number of Pentax/Minolta/Olympus/Yashica film cameras that I try and use in rotation; though circumstances dictate whether I choose a fixed lens or SLR. The ones I have photos handy

My two main weapons of choice, also an Olympus M-1 and OM2-SP that are on loan to my son and daughter who are currently heading over to the US for a few weeks.
Have a neat little Olympus 35ED rangefinder also but its on the other side of the world right now and cannot find a picture of it.

My wife's earlier camera, the camera and 2 Olympus lenses have been in their original box for about 30 years and are in mint condition, I bought Tamron 500mm mirror lens with T2 (OM mount) adapter a few years ago.

Continuing with the OM theme, this was my first OM, some of my pictures from Poland are taken with this...

My old reliable workhorse - tonnes of film have gone through it...

My current film camera is a Nikon F-801, I managed to find a data back for it, mainly because the back door was showing a little wear.

And it should be good for many more! I have 2, used for over 20 years by a news reporter friend, mostly in Africa and the Middle East. They definitely show some battle scars, but are 100% functional. I have the battery holders to configure them as an F4, F4E, or F4S, also have an MF-23 data back and a Hi-Mag finder. Since obtaining these, my other 35mm cameras don't get much use. (I shoot mostly 120 film.)
I have photographs of my gear in a safe deposit box, but nothing's digitized. Somewhere around here I have a Df - one of these days I may break it out and copy some pictures to post here.

For b&w film, i trust its matrix system more that the newer F5 which I also have. Also in Cs mode is more silent too. Brilliant cameras, very well thought out.

I only use a magnifying finder (DW-21) with either F4, or a waist level finder (DW-30) with my F5 – they allow only spot metering - so I've no experience with matrix metering. I also like the Cs mode.
