Back in the 1970s, I bought a Miranda Sensorex, and that was my sole camera (I think) until I bought the Nikon F Photomic. Today, I can't imagine having just one working camera. Do any of you have just one working camera?
I go out with two bodies all the time. History has taught me to have a spare handy always, LOL
I have used and owned about every brand and format of camera in the past 60 years since age 12. From minox size to a 11x14 Inch Deardorf view camera, from compact, 35mm rangefinder, 35mm SLRs, TLRs, medium format, DSLRs, Mirrorless, with brands including Kodak, Polaroid, Miranda, Nikon, Leica, Fuji, Panasonic, Pentax, Olympus, Mamiya, Yashica, Bronica, Hasselblad, Canon, Sony.
Currently I still have a working Canon F1 35mm SLR with a few lenses that I use when I teach my University course in 35mm B&W Film photography. That Canon F1 camera was my stalwart when I covered the War in Nicaragua many moons ago. I used pro Nikon and Canon gear for over 40 years (both brands) then moved over to Sony mirrorless in 2017.
I have owned Sony A6500, A7RII, A7RIIi, A7III, A9, and currently my Sony mirrorless lineup includes Sony A1, A7RIV, A7SIII. Currently I have 13 E-mount lenses covering from 10mm to 600mm from Sony, Sigma, Tamron. I kept one Canon DSLR lens out of my dozens of DSLR lenses, the Canon TS 17mm f4 Tilt-Shift lens which I use on my Sony bodies with the Sigma MC-11 lens adapter.
Seriously thinking of adding the new Viltrox 16mm f1.8 lens in E-mount, looks like an amazing lens, for the GM-like optical quality, exclusive features and at an affordable price of $549 USD.
Cheers and best to you all.
