You featured it in one of your Chicago videos. 2. 1909 (patent date) Kodak Brownie Box camera once owned by the Disney family.

Sony RX-10 IV (my go to for serious travel) crazy 24mm-600mm lens (35mm equivalent). Honorable mention: Olympus TG-6 underwater and above. Great in the rain camera.

[@yumenolala]

Love the cameras you have. Definitely have the shutter bug. My top cameras Film: Nikon F3 Minolta X-700 Digital: Olympus E-M5 Olympus E-M1 Mark ii My wife has an Olympus Myu 1 and her dad as the Nikon F as well as a Nikon D100. Lovely cameras too. Old but gold. ❤

[@juangil5642]

[@phuocdoann]

My favorite film camera is the Yashica 35 CC, it's very small and compact, but the quality of the lens is amazing. I also own the OM1, Minolta X-700 and recently bought the Nikon AF600

[@SageEpyon]

Canon P Yashica Electro 35 GTN Konica C35 EF Minolta Hi-Matic E Olympus XA2 I guess I'm a fan of rangefinders, great collection!

[@leMexius]

My daily cameras are Fujifilm X-Pro2 and the Ricoh GRIII. For playing around, I love my Canon FTb QL, my Rollei 35 SE and - as plastic toy - the Ilford Sprite 35-II. Thanks for your channel, it's always a pleasure watching your content. Best regards from Switzerland!

[@sneakingelephant]

Brooo if you like that panorama camera, then you gotta try shooting panoramas on the Pentax 67. Pair it up with your 55mm (a 45mm is even more ideal). The adapters you need for it are extremely cheap 3d printed pieces. It should include a mask that gives you the panoramic framing.

[@GThirtyfive]

I use minolta srt201 and lomo apparat for point and shoot and experimental shots. Only two more I’m looking for is a fed 2/3 and Olympus om1/3

[@andyroddick7307]

My current 5: 1. Leica m2 2. Rollei 35s 3. Olympus pen ee2 4. Sony A7IV 5. Ricoh griiix … and picking up a Bronica etrsii this weekend!

[@diannesorrell6801]

That's a nice collection, with some cameras I haven't seen before. I'm a few years older, so my first two cameras, which I still have, are my Mom's 1950s Brownie Hawkeye bakelite, cube-shaped 620 box camera and my (yes) Olympus OM10. Although they still work, both are damaged and, therefore, retired. Next were my first digital cameras, bought used: Panasonic FZ10, soon superceded by my FZ20 to have Tiff mode. My husband has those and my GH3, and I went Olympus again with the EM1 mkii and my two favorite m43 zooms. Got back into film, though, a few years ago, starting with a Kodak Tourist II, an underappreciated folder with its very sharp Anaston lens. Found and had serviced three Olympus OMs, the OM1, OM2n, and OMG. Recently added a Praktica L2 and Pentax SP1000 to try some M42 lenses - very nice - and two more medium format folders: Zeiss Ikon Ikonta for 645, and a Zeiss Nettar 6x9. And one TLR I bought for peanuts, a Ciroflex model D that works perfectly and has a clean lens. I feel lucky that two younger generations have come along and championed film photography so that it's still available to all of us. Thanks for being part of that and for your excellent videos.

[@michael195b]

My first camera was an OM2n which I bought new and still use. Also use in rotation: Olympus OM1n - only bought it last month Canon F1 - when I need something rugged Mamiya RB67 - just put new light seals and carry for landscape and need a workout Canon 1DS mk 2 - excellent sensor Also have a Canon A1 which I love and a film EOS 300 called a rebel in the US which also takes my L lenses. I've far too many other cameras 😂😂

[@fjrocks367]

My top 5: 1. Mamiya RB67 2. Nikon L35AF 3. Yashica Mat EM 6x6 TLR 4. Canon EOS RP 5. Minolta X-700

[@CalumetVideo]

No. 1 - Nikon F3 No. 2 - Leica M3 No. 3 - Hasselblad 500 CM No. 4 - Mamiya RB67 Pro S No. 4 - Toyo 45A

[@Americas_Laziest_Photographer]

My top five are my favorites for all different reason, some because of the format, or the style, or purpose. 1. Canon IVSB2, my favorite compact screwmount rangefinder. I like it better than even the IIIg. 2. Nikon F100, favorite autofocus SLR, and my current go-to 3. Mamiya 645, with a waist level finder, my favorite hiking camera. 4. Olympus XA, my favorite "point and shoot", really a rangefinder. Nice and compact, great camera. 5. Nikon F, with eye level, it's built like a tank, and I've taken it everywhere

[@Americas_Laziest_Photographer]

Honorable mentions: Nikon F3, Nikon FM, Minolta Autochord, Minolta X570, Canon A1, Canon AT, Practica FX, Contax II, and Contax D.

[@gordwrath6811]

I just got a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex II, I have a Minolta XG-1 in the mail. I have Polariods SX-70, SX-70 model 3, one step plus with q-light, a one step closeup, and a sun 660. A Sony Cyber Shot DSC-H300. And finally, I have a Kodak Pix-pro AZ528. Oh, and I also just ordered a Topcon Unirex.

[@Minolta_Gal]

I mainly have Minolta cameras, I seriously love the XG series. I have the XG-M, XG-1, XG-7, I also have the X-370, X-570, X-7A, I know I am missing one or two, and I couldn’t list all of the Minolta PnS I have. The Minolta Freedom Zoom 70C is completely underrated! Non Minolta favs is the Pentax K1000, and the Canon Z155.

[@wookieohft7435]

I got one pretty classic set up: Mamiya C33, Canon ae-1, Olympus mju II, Kiev 4-am

[@cameraprepper7938]

My best Cameras, new and old ones are/was #1 Sony A7RIVA (in use now !) #2 Hasselblad 2000 FC (sold, I regret !) #3 Hasselblad 501 CM #4 Canon New F-1 #5 Nikon F3 (sold)

[@cameraprepper7938]

You are right the XD-11 (XD-7 in Europe !) was the best ever 35mm Minolta SLR Camera, many professional photographers used the Minolta XD-11 (XD-7) ! I also had a Minolta 45mm 2.0 which is a much better focal length than a 50mm !!! I had two Nikon F2, two Nikon FE and one Nikon M, I did not like the light meter system in the Nikon F3, so I used the Nikon FE much more. The Canon New F-1 is so much better than the Nikon F3 ! I have tried the Pentax 67, but it is just so... NO ! I will rather use the Mamiya RB 6x7 which I did use many years ago. For point-and-shoot cameras I used Minox 35 ML which I think is the smallest and most easy to use for fast candid street photography, I also used the Leca Minilux which have the best ever Lens for an analog compact camera.

[@WilliamCrespo]

Starting with my film cameras, Canon new F-1, Minolta H-Matic AF2, then onto digital Sony Cybershot 5mp lol, Sony Alpha A65, Fujifilm X-T30II and my "flying Camera" DJI Mini 3 Pro

[@liamthomson8787]

10:57 I have the Nikon L135AF and it’s an absolute gem! Super affordable and the lens is really sharp. Currently my girlfriend is on a trip to Peru with it and I’m excited to see what her shots look like!

[@Zetaphotography]

Did you get the new Rollei 35AF? as an XA alternative? I was a fan of the XF I didn’t shoot well with the B35 cool either way. Good story. Not sure how I would’ve handled that. Most likely the wrong way.

[@reviewerscorner1313]

My top five : Nikon f4 , Canon 650d , Fujifilm x-t1 , Ricoh shotmaster date ,canon 60d

[@nickcosh5947]

Great collection, very jealous. My current collection of cameras are Nikon FM3a, Hasselblad 500cm, Olympus XA and AF1. The Nikon is my favourite but I do like the look of that Pentax 6x7, just need bigger muscles

For film cameras you can’t go wrong with a Pentax k-1000 and ME Super

[@TimeWanderingDad]

Dude my Nikon L35af iso 1000 has that shutter glitch, what I do to get it firing again is tap the shutter with my finger multiple times and then it releases and advances the film. LOVE that camera though!!! Next to my Konica Big MINI F.

[@SomeUnremarkableGuy]

Minolta X570 with MC Rokkor PF 58mm F1.4 Minolta 800si Yashica LM Yashica Electro 35 GSN Plus a lot more Minoltas but, this are my favorite right now.

I have room just for camera gear my father was big into photography so at age six I got a Kodak Brownie that was in 1960 Olympus XA to a Deardroff 8X10 in size and currently I am at 83 the X-PAN is probably the rarest I don’t own a Alpha, Minolta or Voitlander I think I have all the other brands covered there is a camera museum in Staunton Virginia and I think he has more my oldest 1935 and my newest is my cell phone

[@richardb.1414]

For that dent, you need a " filter ring vise". Not cheap 🛠

[@blackboxsounds]

I love and have the Yashica Sensation AF Panoramic (28mm f4.5 glass lens).

[@andykphoto]

My grIII is having that issue with the back ring, but it’s survived a fall from about waist height onto a dense carpet. I had a little lens issue, but it seems to have sorted itself out. Mostly. Still shoots great, even if I have to change the iso in the app… 😅

[@spyratekodaks7494]

If i could have all 6 nikon f cameras, I would! I already have the f2 and f3 and love them!

[@maxweII]

Currently just sold and got rid of my Nikon L35AF and an Olympus Infinity Zoom 230. My current collection is a Nikon F and F3, a Canon A35FML, and a Yashica T AF. Sadly broke my F3’s rewind knob so have to get that fixed so I can use that bad boy as much as possible again (and not break it this time).

im a newbie but the way you talk about cameras makes it feel less intimidating! I currently own a sony a6000 & a polaroid now+.... i'm now wanting to get a film camera soon!!

[@KevinRedder]

My Ricoh GR II broke after 9000 actuations in 2 months. The flex cable that controls shutter, aperture and focus in the lens broke, it's a poor design since the flex cable bends inside every time the lens extend and retract. It's weird that my old Canon G9 from 2007 still works compared to a Ricoh GR from 2015...

I sure cannot fault his selection of film cameras, as I own most of them myself (For me, a T2 instead of the Big Mini, but I bought my T2 back in the sane-price days). My one exception is the Canon MC. It was my first P-n-S camera. Without trying it out, I took it on my annual photo safari into the SW, lands of slot canyons and red rock, toting 35mm SLRs and a medium format view camera. U=I used the MC to keep a record of our doings along the way. Its results were disheartening at best. Lens is just terrible, and I mean worse than an XA or Mju. Not that sharp; massive vignetting. I never used it again. Don't know if I still have it somewhere, or tossed it out. It is amazing that the MC still seems to have some used value on eBay and such.
