Olympus XA2 - micro point & shoot that kicks ass & a nut-less monkey can use it.
Nikon FE - old nikon lenses are great; no need to get an F6--ultimately with film cameras your light (your image) is going from lens to film, so bells & whistles don't matter. the FE is the machine that will take ALL nikon lenses
Olympus 35RC - Olympus' answer to the Leica. Aka poor man's Leica. Stellar.
Canon QL17 - the Pbass of photojournalism. |

But I'd have to say the K1000 is the baseline of camera dependability.
If I really wanns shoot with class, I can pull out the early 50's Leica M3 I inherited from dad.

I also have a Beseler color enlarger with a voltage regulator. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Germantown, Louisville KY USA | | | My favorite tools for fine art photography are my 1936 Rolleicord TLR, my early 1920s Agfa-Ansco box camera (6cmX9cm) and my homemade 4X5 large format view camera with a 150mm Schneider Xenar lens.
The Agfa-Ansco cost me $5 which I had to restore. The Rollei set me back only $40 because I had to clean the lenses and refurbished the shutter. The 4X5 cost me less than $100 to build including the Schneider lens which I also got on the cheap because it also needed to be refurbished.

Without a lens they are dirt cheap, and I'll shortly have at least one lens that I could use with the EF mount

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Rochelle, Illinois | | I worked in a camera store in the late 80's and got to play with a ton of cameras (and I got 1/2 off film and processing  ).
A few of my favorites: Nikon FE
Minolta X-700
Pentax K-1000
Canon AE-1
In addition I could occasionally borrow a medium format camera. I've got some wonderful looking portraits and landscapes taken with Kodachrome 64 in medium format.
