A thankless task, but I went:
1- ME Super
2 - Spotmatic
3 - Super A
I stuck to only what I know, so that's all 35mm and manual focus.
Ask me again tomorrow though and you'd get a different three all together probably!

1) ME-Super
2) *ist
3) Auto 110
I've never used (or even seen) an LX but I understand it's one of the greats.

I voted a while back and mine were:
1. LX
2. MX
3. ESII
The ESII is a bit left field, but I do enjoy using my ES/ESII combo with a selection of SMC Takumar lenses. I've never used the MZ-S, and probably never will unless I win one in the Pentax Forums grand raffle, but I suspect that as great a camera as it is, I won't enjoy using it so much. Part of the fun of film, for me, is that it isn't like using the K-3. If using the film camera feels just like using my digital, then I might as well use the digital with the benefits it brings. That's why I really enjoy things like my Ondu pinhole, my Lubitel 2 or my Agfa Isolette II.
Cheers, Kris.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

1. SV
2. P30T
3. MZ5n
I have been a Pentax person since 1967 (currently a K-5, MZ5n and an ME). Despite my list, I always really fancied an LX but it was never to be.

2nd - *ist not used recently but has taken some of my best shots.
3rd - SP1000 the camera I wanted but could only afford a Zenit E.

The long and short of it is I need to get my first Pentax film camera... been spying some ME Supers on eBay but they seem to be fetching higher prices than I anticipated (£50+) for reasonable condition examples.
