The Pentax 67 is truly a beast! Back in the 80's the Pentax and the Mamiya RB67 were the professional wedding and portrait photographers choice of cameras. Back in the day of negative retouching, the 6x7 negatives were the easiest to work on. - Jim

[@theoldcameraguy]

Definitely easier to edit in Photoshop too (dust, etc.). Thanks for watching

[@mikestanavech7858]

The P67 is my main camera these days, I carry it everywhere including hiking and traveling.

[@theoldcameraguy]

I’m hoping to get out with mine more this summer.

[@campyonlyguy]

I bought an LCA around the same time--about '97 or '98. Shot a bunch of film with it, but I eventually sold it. Years later, I missed it and bought another LCA, followed by an LCA+ (for the ability to use the optional wide angle lens). Great memories from that first LCA!

[@theoldcameraguy]

I’ve been tempted by the LC-A+ because of the ability to take multiple exposures

[@Narsuitus]

Here are the 5 cameras I will never get rid of: 1. Nikon F2 - my favorite camera 2. Nikon F4 - accepts all my Nikkor F lenses 3. Fuji S5 Pro digital SLR ' accepts all my Nikkor F lenses 4. Leica M6 - favorite 35mm rangefinder camera 5. The two cameras I inherited from my parents

[@theoldcameraguy]

Nice!

[@55whiplash]

My OM-2, Pentax ME-Super, and my dads old Olympus 35E are the 3 I won't sell. I have 2 of his old Kodak folding cameras that B&H now sell film for $$$. Haven't tried those yet, but I'm looking forward to trying them.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Sounds like some solid choices there - I’m a big fan of vintage Olympus cameras.

[@Resgerr]

You make my stash look puny😂 I have the 40mm pancake lens. What I love most about the ef lenses is that you can use them on your film or digital eos cameras. I have the Canon eos 10 and 3000vf( light as a feather). I have my beloved T90 whoch weighs a ton and a F1- which I bought as I thought mt T90 had gone, it showed the dreaded error, turned out I had the depth of preview button pressed in😅. I have a LC-A too, nice little camera. I need to use all mine more.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Sounds like you’ve got some pretty good gear - Thanks for watching.

[@KarySchump]

I missed your live, but glad to see that I could watch it! It was fun to see some of your favorites!! Love your videos and channel!! Thanks for being such a positive and fun photographer and sharing your knowledge and passion!!

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks Kary - I really appreciate your support!

[@Mike_On_Film]

The Pentax 67- I actually sold mine just because I found it so hard to nail focus wide open. It may have been my particular camera or the lens…could have very well been my old eyeballs lol

[@theoldcameraguy]

Yeah, it’s tough to really nail that focus

[@theoldunsshot1005]

Interesting choices - a mix of expensive and budget. Jim Graves is a friend of mine and I first heard of this "5 Cameras..." thing through his blog. I don't think I could choose just 5 and if I did I would change my mind before my video finished uploading. Keith

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks Keith - I saw you added some Minolta Maxxum gear to your arsenal recently too. I had a good experience with a Maxxum camera I shot for the Frugal Film Project last year.

[@basstubert]

Dang, I'm three hours late! I totally agree on the Pentax 67, I will never get rid of that camera (and I love the lenses). It is a big son of a gun but the shots are so worth it. I might actually pick up on this theme. I mean, if you, Alex and Jim are in on it I'm in good company ;-)

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks for watching and Happy Birthday man!

[@basstubert]

@@theoldcameraguy Thanks Dave! 🍻

[@xyzrandom3981]

Nice selection! I have an Elan 7 with that same 1.4 lens, and I agree it’s a great combination. Feels nice and solid too

[@theoldcameraguy]

I’ve been really happy with the Elan series - I’ve got an Elan II as well. Thanks for watching.

[@thescotlandeffect3454]

Watching from Glasgow, Scotland. Sorry I missed your live video, always like watching your videos, my favourite camera just died on me, it was an Olympus OM2 with a 28mm lens.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Sorry to hear about your camera - OM2 is a classic

[@comfortablyblind6853]

My 5 ride or die: Bronica S2A - Love this chrome camera! Bronica ETR - 4.5x6, gotta love it. Canon EOS 1N - What's not to love? Canon 33V (Elan 7ne) - Light and precise. Canon AL-1 - I have my reasons. Great video.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks - Great list

[@Minolta_Gal]

Sorry I missed the live, I went on a bus trip to Fort McHenry.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Yeah, I thought you mentioned on IG that you were planning on going there today - Hopefully the weather held out for you - We had a beautiful day here in Ohio.

[@Minolta_Gal]

@@theoldcameraguy the weather was wonderful, warm but over all nice.

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

I can't stop looking at the giant Kodak Gold 100 box (or is it a soft cooler?) up on top of the shelves behind you....

[@theoldcameraguy]

It is a vintage cooler - Made in the U.S. of A.

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

@@theoldcameraguy -- Thought so! I think that I have one around here too somewhere! One of my uncles worked his entire working life (1945-1985) for Kodak in Rochester, NY -- I don't think that he ever got any 'merch' -- it was not a big thing back then. But I caught some vintage films on KZbin (Periscope Films channel?) of operations in the Kodak film production labs/buildings in Rochester -- and I actually saw my uncle for 10 seconds in the background of one scene from a 1960's internal Kodak film. All of this stuff -- memories. The vintage cameras, accessories and 'merch' -- as well as the photos and home movies....

[@theoldcameraguy]

@@aengusmacnaughton1375 Pretty cool you could see your uncle in that vintage footage.

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

I sure hope that you are alive!!!!! 😁

[@theoldcameraguy]

Still kickin’ 🤓

[@mamiyapress]

Is there a medical term for someone who is obsessed with collecting cameras, lenses and everything else photographic ? I stopped counting my cameras at 350. I shudder to think how many I have now.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Whatever the term is, you’ve got it! My count is somewhere between 150 and 200.

[@samhardy2038]

I’ve got a couple of odd ones I can send if I had your address.

[@theoldcameraguy]

If I don’t already have them, I might just take you up on that. You can shoot me an email (address available in my About tab on the channel). Thanks
