Canon P and Voigtländer Skopar. Shot with a Promatic Compact R (a what? -- it's a rebadged sh!te Petri) but sporting a 50/1.4 Super Tak; on HP5+)
Bronica S2 with Nikkor 50/3.5 and iced Americano. Shot with Rolleiflex E (Planar 2.8); on Delta 100 Pro

The P is pretty. I'm considering one as a backup to my M2. The M2's trailing shutter curtain looks like the einstein planetarium when lit from the back
so it needs to go in soon, and the P would keep me from having no interchangeable-lens rangefinders to shoot.
Originally posted by monochrome Well that's a relief. If I start Oly I not only have an entire new universe of LBA opportunities, I also have to talk to my brother. Thankfully he
got took the F1 system when my father died
so I only have to deal with Pentax.
Feeding two systems has proven to be my undoing on multiple occasions. I try to stick to Pentax for 35mm SLRs. I like them the best and the lens selection is, overall, the best, especially the legacy stuff. I've had:
Canon FD system (AE-1, 28, 50, long zoom)
Konica AR (Started with a 400/5.6 lens from a thrift shop, ballooned to 3 camera bodies (TC, T3, T) and like 6 lenses (57/1.4, 40/1.8, a 28, a 135...))
Minolta MD (SRT 101 found at yard sale, vivitar 28/2.5, Minolta 50/1.8. Nice setup. Sold to a friend's sister.) I currently have an XG-M and 50/1.4 I'm looking at selling.
Olympus OM (Current...100/2.8 and 35/2.8, some zooms, OM-1 and OM-10)
All I've come away with from each system is that:
A. I like pentax better
and
B. I don't like buying stuff twice.
No other 35 SLR system has given me a really compelling reason to have two setups. 4x5/8x10, Medium Format and 35mm RF is a different story

Here are some of my gear:
A newly purchased MX with an oldie of mine: Auto Chinon multi-coated 50/1.7. I've been using this lens since 1990! It's quite sharp (and cheap!)
Because my old Chinon CE-4 had a stuck mirror issue, I had to by another one.
I got it with the winder: PW-530, and the lens: Tokina SZ-X 28-200/3.5-5.3. In between i stuck my Panagor Auto Tele Converter 2x. Everything works!
The proud blemishes of cameras that did not live their entire lives in camera bags. I love the black MX.
