I use a Canon Rebel SII and a Canon AE-1. I currently am using Ilford Delta 100 Professional film.

For film, primarily with an EOS 1v I picked up used from eBay. Found out I can get an old AE1 over the holidays from a family member. Coming back to film after about 15 years, I'm doing mostly B&W with TRI-X, NEOPAN and T-MAX.

Emulsions that I use:
Fuji Pro 400 H (C-41)
Kodak Tri-X 400 (B&W)
Fuji Velvia 50 (E-6) [not so much these days]
Fuji Acros 100 (B&W) [getting ready to test drive this film]

Cameras that I use:
Rollei 35 SE
Hasselblad XPAN II
Nikon F3hp
Nikon F100
Leica M4-P

I just don't really don't care for the look of digital; it can't hold a candle to what film coupled with the right lenses can create.

Mainly EOS 3 and usually Fuji, both my old Pentax cameras (Super A and LX) still work fine!

Digitised with Reflecta RPS 7200 scanner with Silverfast software

Canon F-1 and tri-X since Pan X is gone. I still think B&W is best and that color can sometimes be a distraction.

I just found my old Olympus trip 35, and I'm going to take some pictures this season.
I will post them when Im done.
There is a big culture about these little cameras, and mine is a l late sixties and looks in great shape.

I am new to this forum: however I have
(2) Nikon FE's one of which I recently purchased for &74.00 on E-Bay. It is in fantastic shape. Also have an old Nikon EM which I bought for my wife 30 years ago. The EM isn't used much any more. But the lenses work just fine.. I must agree with CHG Cannon. kvolt

Yes.

Let's see, 35mm cameras I still use on a regular basis: several Argus C3's, several Argus C44's & C44R's, several Pentax K-1000's, a Kodak Retina IIc, an Agfa Solina, a Kodak Signet 50, & an Argus STL-1000. Those I don't use on a regular basis: a working Argus A from 1936, & a working Argus A2B from 1939.

Non-35mm that I use on an irregular basis: 2 Ciroflex 6x6 120 TLR's from the late 1940's, an Ikoflex 6x6 120 TLR from 1951, & an Agfa-Ansco Viking 6x9 120 folder from 1951.

Film: I try to restrict my film to ASA 100, color negative & B/W for the 35mm cameras, & just B/W for the 120's. Kodak & Fuji. ASA 100 film used to be available at Walgreens', then the camera store, but now I use B&H, etc. & even they are whittling down the supply. KEH came through for me lately. It's looking like Freestyle with their versions of B/W might be the only recourse before long. We'll see what happens.

So what camera(s) & film(s) do you use?
