Show us your favorite classic camera

[pkrpkr]

If you where to go on a holiday and wanted to use one of your classic cameras, which one would you take?
Here's my choice (actually 2): a Rollei 35 LED because it is lightweight and makes razor sharp pictures with excellent colors and contrast. If weight wasn't a problem, I'd take an Exacta Varex too.[attachment=0:48fcb]Exakta.jpg[/attachment:48fcb]

Without a doubt, this is my personal favorite.  A 1946 Leica IIIc that I actually do take with me on vacation

Nice! Even nicer that you're actually using it.

The Exakta is certainly nothing to sneeze at.  I've got an Exa with a frame spacing problem that I wish I could use.  There is a certain style that the Varex that is absolutely wonderful.

Hi,
With no doubt, my favorite vintage camera is a Speed Graphic + Aero-Ektar.
I use this combo every weeks with a large pleasure.
I used it during the last French Presidential campaign.
The only bad point is that is necessary to re-calibrate the range-finder every weeks for an accurate result...

Very nice!  I'm a WW2 reenactor, and I would absolutely love to find a military Speed Graphic that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.  (Most of the examples that I've found are out of my budget.)

This Graflex RB Super D looks like new, works perfectly and takes great pictures.  They certainly don't make them like this anymore!

Ed Romney published an Exakta repair manual way back in 1978, explaining the shutter curtain - might help you repair it, it's not that complicated. IHAGEE EXAKTA CAMERA REPAIR by E. ROMNEY

Without a doubt my favorite camera has to be my Wizard special 93 plate camera *sighs* she's such a beauty!..
