I was handed down a Nikon D3100, got a great deal on a Lumix GH3 and just got another non Pentax interchangeable lens camera - a Mamiya C33. Only have the 80mm lens so far though.

3 Pentax DSLRs (K-r, K5, K5iis) 2 fuji's - X-E2, X-E3... My father is a Canon user so my first digital DSLR efforts were on a Canon 20D.

Canon EF film body was my first 35mm, bought in '76, then added the T-70 when it became available. Mid 90s switched to Pentax.

With Pentax since then and very happy.

First time I have heard anyone being happy about having their camera stolen, or was that a mis-type!

It was a Canon.....so no loss

Only Pentax, but I did carry an Olympus XA clamshell in the 80s.

Oh my this is a long list (but much shorter without all the Pentax )

Zenit (first slr)
Nikon f
Nikon em
Canon ae1
Canon a1
Bronica ETRsi
Mamiya Super
Olympus e300
Olympus OMD Em5
And all the following Fuji
XE1 (or converted)
XE2
XE3
XT1
XPro1
XPro2
XH1
(The Pentax brand would add 10 or so)

Theft funded return to Pentax from canon and my switch to Fuji. Replacement cost insurance is a great thing

Nikon F, Canon A3E.

My first SLR, a Christmas 1980 present, was a Sears KSX (Ricoh KR-10). I’ve owned two original Olympus Stylus, Two Nikon digital super zooms, both real dogs. A Fuji superzoom, three Canon Elf models, and my last compact, a much loved Panasonic Lumix. Also an Agfa 120 folder, Yashica Mat 124, Mamiya C-330, several Polaroids, and my first ever camera, an ITT TeleMatic 110. The only one of those cameras I still own, an original Polaroid SX-70.

I started in the 1960s and from the mid 70s through to the 90s worked part time for a used camera dealer, so at one time or another have owned a LOT of different cameras. And I currently trade in old cameras and lenses on eBay, so have a lot I use for testing lenses etc.

Film - no longer own any of these
Exa 1, Exa 2, Exakta Varex (various models)
Canon AE1 and F1
Olympus Pen FT

Digital
Nikon D50 then D90 then Nikon D7000 - my main system
Canon Eos 300D then 350D then 400D - my main test bed for older lenses, I have a load of adapters for them.
Pentax K200D - for PK lenses, obviously
Sony A1000 - for Minolta and Sony A-mount lenses
Olympus E-500 (4/3 format) - replaced by Panasonic Lumix G1 micro 4/3 with adapter for the old 4/3 lenses and other lenses that can't be tested on normal SLRs, e.g. Leica
Sony Nex-5

I also have about 12 old 35mm bodies I use to test that lenses stop down and couple with metering etc. but never actually get used for photography, usually with faults that make them unsellable e.g. Praktica B and M42, Sigma, Canon FD, Minolta MD, Olympus OM, Fujica, Exa, Yashica, and 35mm Eos and early AF minolta that can be used for lenses that don't like the digital models.

Later - sorry, somehow I missed the "interchangeable lens" bit - I've edited out the ones that don't qualify

A Canon M6, love it for its size, AF speed and ease of use.

**jersey** · 02-02-2021, 07:13 AM

From digital era only Samsung NX1000.

From film:
Zenit 12XP
Zenit 3M
Practica FX
Practica 4BM
Practica L3
Practica VLC (with all 3 VF options)
Olympus AE-1
Voigtlander Vito BR
Kiev IV (I think it was IV)
