Jeez, it has been a while since I looked at this thread. Sorry.one1speed said:
I rarely use the C-3, but I pull out the C-44 on occasion. Takes wonderful pictures. As nice as my Nikon anyway. I love to pull it out when I'm in a croud. I have the turret viewfinder and lightmeter attached so it looks like some freak franken-camera and I get the weirdest looks. :lmao:

Very nice collection! I've always wanted an M system. I have (had) and R system, but I've always felt the M system was the pinnacle.
I have decided to sell my R system to move more heavily into digital. I still feel film is king, but digital is the way right now and will fit my needs quite well. I've picked up an older Nikon F3 with a 1.4/50mm lens and I'm looking to get the Canon 20D to replace the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC1 (Leica Digilux 2). After a lot of thought and research, it seems the way to go for me at this point. I'm debating on going all digital with my main cameras, as I could squeeze another lens out of things for the F3. Still thinking on this one. Enjoy and wecome to the forum.

Here is a pic of my C-44.

That looks like a bad prop in a 50's spy movie. The super-secret-machinegun-camera-lazer-zapper? But I likes it a lot. :yes:

Well the thing to the right of the lens (left in the pic) doubles as a geiger counter and the turret thing is for X-ray vision. :lmao:
Well, I made the switch to a digital SLR. I'm working on selling off my Leica stuff, etc. Went with the updated Nikon D70s with a 60mm 2.8/macro and the mighty 17-35 2.8. Not sure I'm going to keep the zoom, as it's a bit of a beast. May get a series of primes to replace it.
Just getting to know it and it seems quite capable thus far.

Yeh I bought mine when it first came out. I use it with the super sharp 24-85 afs zoom that I use on my F-5. I also use Nikon's 70-300G lens on the d-70 it's sharp as a tack and extremely light as it gets you the effect of approximately 135-450 mm on the d-70

Hi Enough
For 35mm I have a cheap plastic camera with adjustable aperture (no light meter), fixed everything else, a hand-me-down Nikon FM-10 (bottom-end, but I have 24mm and 50mm primes ) and a Canonet G-III 17, a Canon rangefinder from the 70s.
For digital, I use a Canon S45, my first digital camera. A decent camera for what it is, a lot of manual control, it shoots RAW and I've learned everything I know on it. But I've been lusting after a D-SLR ever since getting into this game. Maybe in a couple years...

Hey I have 2 Canonet QL 17's too But believe it or not I have an old Yashika
with a coupled rangefinder....no meter, a flash shoe and a 43mm Yashinon F 2.8 lens. It is the sharpest lens Ive ever seen. (43mm is about the field of view of human eyesight) I was told by an old repairman that it has a Carl Zeiss lens...... I lent the Yashica to a (friend ?), a pro who took photos of hot rods with it and was making money, hands over fists. I had to threaten the dude to get it back! I have never seen another one like it.

My mom has an old Canonet rangefinder that I've been trying to work out of her hands. She never uses it and I think it's a really cool old camera. Something I'd love to play around with. Some day soon.
If you're into medium format, I've noticed the Mimaya C330 Pro going to dirt cheap on the Bay. It's an older twin lens reflex that I'm sure takes excellent picts. I'd love to be able to get some b & w film going through one of those. Would be a blast to try out, I'm sure.

My latets aqusition: "Minolta" X-700 (I have the the objectives from the 2nd and the 3rd pic - 135 mm and 35-200 mm).
Finally went Digital
For years I shot with a Contax RTS and a slew of Zeiss Lens. For larger format I have Linhof Technika with all Schnieder Kruz lens'
Those cameras were worth 10's of thousands in their day.
Now I shoot with a Canon D20 and 3 of their "L" lens' the entire system was
less than $4000
The D20 is a mere 8.2 Megapixels
But
I can get better prints in my living room with an Epson printer than I ever got with "Professional Labs" with the film cameras.
