·I don't usually take pictures of my camera, but I have this one of my Leica CL from 1974. I also have my grandfather's Polaroid and a Canonet QL17, maybe I'll take pictures of those if it stops raining for a minute.

·From the good old days of banquet events in the USA, here it is a "banquet camera" 12x20 inches , Korona View made by Gundlach Manhattan Rochester N.Y.. This monster cameras were made in early 1900's and used primarily for shooting banquets. in those days enlargers were not in use, so contact prints from ultra large negatives was the only way to delivery very sharp images of very large group of people well dressed at the banquets . I used a Folmer Schwing as well which is more practical than the Korona's, and it's very fascinating to shoot with them. You can see how small it is a Graflex 4x5" next to it!

·My oldest camera is a Canon Elan II that I took to England and Scotland in 2000, only a short time before digital cameras became the rage. Worked perfectly, but now I rarely use it. Considering the spectacular submissions shown in this thread, I won’t post a picture.

1950's Leica IIIf rangefinder, and a late 1960's Zenza Bronica S2 medium format camera, also whilst not a camera a Sangamo Weston V light meter.
Despite having cameras, as you can see I can't photograph worth a damn!
Just kidding... ad-hoc phone pic, my daily is a mid-range Nikon, but nobody would be interested in that I'm sure.

·I don't really keep vintage cameras around much (and frankly I don't have patience for phone photography when my daily work is ... well... photography, so pardon the crappy focus and lighting).
This is one of my grandfather's Leicas, a Leica IIIf he used while in the service. I need to find his old slides from Subic Bay and make some prints soon.
This next one I actually use for work! A Mamiya 7II. Not super vintage but probably my best investment purchase. Bought the body and lens for around $1800 and in 3 years they're going for twice that.

I think its a 50mm Krauss Zeiss Tessar lens, f/3.5...but I'll have to double check.

·if one of these two black leica might ha an elmax or an anastigmat lens on them, a safe deposit box would be more appropriate to store them !😀

·The only modern camera I own is my iPhone. Outside of that I use my Hasselblad 500cm, Leica M2, Leica MDa, and FujiFilm Klasse W though my Hassy is my daily shooter.
