I see that I contributed to this thread a couple of years ago... (ok... way back in 2009) I am pleased to say that my Rollei is still in my every day bag and gets a lot of use. However, I have recently been shooting a LOT of 5x7 paper negatives on my B&J and keep an XA in my jacket pocket. For me, each tool inspires me in a different way.
Cheers,

Well, if this doesn't seem like a sleepy little group here i am with the guilts using mt rangefinders 97% of the time my SLR's 2% leaving 1% to a small digi when on the fly. So. .. ... tomorrow I pledge to tote only the 635 it's not that its a hard camera to use it's just not the "handy" camera I reach for. I hope to do better. Damm -you Bessa R, Canon P, I wish I knew how to quit you!

Other cameras: Mainly 35mm. Pentax LX, MX, ME Super, K1000. Folders: Voigtlander Vitessa L, Retina IIIc, Zeiss Ikon Contessa, Retina 1. Olympus OM 10, Canon T30 (I think, its the one designed for brain dead shooters!). Medium format: Pentax 645n, Busch Pressman 2 1/4 x 3 1/4. Everything works except for the Retina IIIc, shutter problem. Anyone know of a good repair shop?

Google "Retina IIIc shutter stuck" or "Retina IIIc shutter repair" and you should get lots of hits. I think it's a leaf shutter inside the lens. Probably worth fixing.

Yes, the Retina IIIc is worth fixing. It has a Compur shutter and an f2 Xenon lens, which is a fine lens by any standards. My understanding is that the shutter/film wind rack is a weak point in these cameras, it was working perfectly until suddenly, in the middle of a roll of Kodachrome, one of the last...it refused to wind or release the shutter.

I have a Yashicamat that was used by wire service photographers in the 1960s and still takes good photos. I just bought a Yashicamat that a Yashica expert says has German-made lenses. I have a Bilora Bella 6x6 that makes fine negatives but are blurry. I need to take it out again and use a tripod.
I am just getting my wet darkroom set up and when I get it finished I will be taking a lot of 120 film. I bought a bunch of Ilford Pan F Plus 50.

When I'm not shooting my 2 TLRs on a medium format day, it's either my Kodak Tourist 6x9 folder or Agfa Isolette 6x6 folder. I always get sharper results from TLR focusing than from guesstimating the range since my folders don't have rangefinders. Sometimes a TLR is too much to carry on certain journeys though, and the folders do great for crowd scenes, landscapes, things beyond 6-8 feet. On 35mm days I usually use one of my old Nikons or a Minox.

My TLR's are a Yashica A and Rolleicord III and a newly purchased Mamiya C330 which I have not had time to use. I had no clue how heavy the Mamiya would be, it will not be a walk around camera for me.

Currently I use a Minolta Autocord MX mainly because of the focus arrangement which does not require shifting the camera from one hand to another between shots to wind on as per most of the Rollei pattern types. Over many years I have used a Microflex, Yashicamat, Mamiya C33, Rolleiflex and Meopta Flexaret as well as 35mm, 645, 120 folders and home-mades and digital but I always prefer to use the TLR whenever possible. I make pinhole cameras and a 6x12 to use a Miniature Speed Graphic Kodak lens and shutter as well as pinholes. My digital camera is a NEX 5N.

Minolta Autocord TLR ca 1960

I use Yashica Mat 124G.
Then I have Pentax MX for the little format, and Fatif DS 13x18 cm.

In TLRs, I mainly use:
Yashica 44LM
Flexaret III
Minolta Autocord

I'm new to APUG, so I'm going to resurrect this thread.
Besides my treasured Mamiaflex and C22, I have:
Pentax 645N and two 645 bodies
Kodak Medalist II
Polaroid 100A Land Camera
Box cameras: Two Argus Super 75s, a Brownie Hawkeye Flash, and an Imperial Mark XII (if that counts as a camera)
and for 135 film, I have a Pentax K2, several KXes, an MX, a Nikon F, and a few FMs
Then there's the "broken pile".... (and a couple Digital Camera Simulators)

I have done more with the Mamiaflex than with any of the others. I mostly use it to shoot landscapes with Ektar. The C22 would have had more use, but it took quite a while to get the winder issue worked out. Now it is good as gold, but I only have one good waist-level viewfinder - my Porroflex is desilvering in a few spots. I have an 80, 135, and 180mm for them, but that pile needs to grow. I'm looking for the legendary 55mm.

Since I got the Medalist II a few months ago, it has been my new favorite toy. I just wish there was a way I could stuff a 220 roll of Velvia 50 in there. I would love to see that strip of 6x9 in full color.
