What do you own?

There have been a few references on the forum to other brand cameras that members own.

A previous thread link asked same question but without a poll.

Without going into why you own or use, what brand other than Pentax do you have?

I have not included Samsung as they are blood relations.

Medium and large format options to include any brand.

If you don't own a Pentax, please don't vote.

If you have a camera not listed, please comment on brand and not reason for use.

OK, first issue, the poll only allows a single vote, is there a way round this?

Regards

Removed comment!

My first digi camera was a Fuji 9500 and I've still got it. Sits in the glove compartment of the car for those rare occasions when you need a camera and you don't have your usual kit with you. It's got an 18-300 optical zoom, so pretty flexible. Didn't use it much in live view and never as a movie camera.

Where's the "only own Pentax" option?

Although, technically, I've got an antique Kodak DC-120 (and don't ask what this cost in 1997!) and an almost-as-old Konika P&S, although I don't think either are active in making (serious) digicameras any more (?)

I have a battered Olympus OM10, bought it on ebay cheap because the last owner thought it was broken (just needed new batteries). A brief play with that showed that it wasn't a patch on the Pentax equivalents of the era, it just felt cheap and flimsy. I also have an old Lubitel 166U that I bought back in the mid 1990s because they were cheap and I wanted a go with medium format, although I haven't used that either for ages.

I am continually tempted by Bronica ETRS/ETRSi gear, which seems to be very cheap by medium format standards. I have seen complete systems (body/lens/viewfinder/back) for around £200 or so. Only snag is that I'd need a new dev tank and medium format negs will not go into my 35mm scanner. Think I might start saving for an LX instead...

A Panasonic LX3 - very nice camera for a compact.

Nikon - Compact
Ricoh - SLR's & RF
Medium format -Mamiya

I don't see the point in this as it's already been covered and many of us will have a selection of other makes, some old, some very old. There is no chance in a poll to offer multiple choices.

Only Pentax, but I agree with John this is another pointless thread.

I voted Ricoh as my second most-used camera (after the K10D) is a Ricoh GR-Digital which is never far from my side.

I currently own around 50 cameras (nearly all of which are awaiting sale at some point) including models from every manufacturer on you list except Sigma and Fuji, plus many more besides.

Other than the K10D and the GR-D the only cameras I have that are actually in use (ie, the only ones I'm not prepared to sell) are a Pentax LX, a Rollei B35, a Zeiss Super Ikonta IV and a Rolleicord III. So if you count those six only I'm split between Pentax and Rollei with cameos from Ricoh and Zeiss Ikon.

Maybe the thread should be removed?

If a request from OP is required, then to moderators, please remove thread.

There have been a few contributions to the thread and it would be somewhat unfair to remove these as there is nothing contentious about them.

I've dropped you a PM to see what the problem is.

I have considered other brands, but I've only ever used a Pentax SLR/DSLR. My 'stick it in the pocket, just in case' camera is a Fujifilm F810 with a dodgy power switch.

Note to self: I must get round to fixing it soon.

It has to be the Zenit for me.

I also have a couple of Olympus Xas and some Agfas but...

I havebeen using canon 450 D from last 6 months found that it takes Exellent RAW quality images.
The battery life is very good
It has got good number of settings,so it becomes as simble or as complicated you want it to be
