I have a few. Canon EOS3 w/battery grip, Canon EOS ElanIIe , two older, one TLR and an old Kodak Tourister fold out but film is a little tough to find at times. I do only B&W and still develop and print in my darkroom. Unfortunately I no longer have the energy and will sell off all this spring.
Funny how one can collect and accumulate over the years. I have upgraded enlargers 3 times. LOL!

Isn't it nice to see this many people that shoot with film. This is for UHH members and those responding to this topic. The driving force for the resurgence in film is the 20 year-olds. Hooray for them.

The all time best camera was my Nikon FM. It would even work without a battery. But with the battery, it had a great split prism for focus, a meter in the viewfinder for exposure. It was small, lightweight, durable. If only they made a digital copy of it! All it would need is a dial for ISO and a digital sensor, and it would be the perfect camera for me!

==============

Being involved in photography for over 50 years I, of course, have went through about 16, each, 35mm cameras in my lifetime. I have only two left that I have refused to sell or give away. My first was a Argus C-3, that I bought used from a local camera store = Saint Louis Camera, in 1964. I still make use of this camera from time to time - usually once a year in the month of April - which was the month I bought it. The other 35mm, a Minolta SR"T" 101 was a gift from a friend who returned to the U.S. from his first tour of "Nam" in 1968. This STILL is one great camera and my reason for not parting with it is because my friend died on his second tour of "Nam". So it has a very special meaning to me. I make use of this camera often when I get a "whim" to do so..... Usually for B&W (shades of gray) film photographic work. ((I have other cameras that I really love to make use of as well = However, the question here was about 35mm cameras - so I have told the little story of those.))

I still chemically develop my film and "Roll-My-Own" with a 35mm film- into the cassettes. I have given away four 35mm cameras and lenses along with my dark-room equipment to the "Genesee Center for Arts and Education" in Rochester, NY. I was very impressed with them while I was "On Location" in that great city a few years ago. Others through the years, I have given to students I have had.

Thank you for bring this topic up.

I have a Leica M3 with 50mm f2 Dual Range Summicron. A 35mm, 90mm, and 135mm complete the outfit. I use Fuji and Ilford film mostly.

Nikon 8008, bought Feb. 1990. Still shoot a roll or two of Ektar 100 annually.
Still absolutely love that small compact camera. (Compared to a d7200)

I have an assortment of Nikons, but when I need something really bomb proof, it's my Nikkormat Ftn. Most of my film work now is B&W with a Mamiya 645.

MT Shooter Loc: Montana

bdk Loc: Sanibel Fl.

Not quite. I want the REAL Nikon dFM! Just take away the film advance lever, and put an iso dial on it. Forget video, and all that other crap. Give me a nice prism and forget autofocus, Yeah, give me a shutter speed dial too. If you give me back that nifty little meter in the viewfinder, you can forget autoexposure too. I want auto-nothing. Let ME be the photographer.

My favorite all time is my FM2. It does use a battery for the needle match meter-- but it could be operated without. I have owned an FTn, an FA, and currently have two FGs as well as the FM2. i began with a Pentax....
