You May Only Keep One

One Pentax (Pentax only) film camera is what you are allowed to keep and use for the rest of your days.
One single (of any supported or adapted mount) lens is what you are allowed to mount to that camera.

Which will it be? You may only keep one. Make your choice.

**EDIT - this isn't limited to what you currently have, but it is limited to a real-world scenario. E.g. The eventual faults each camera has will eventually occur. This is not a perfect-world hypothetical in which your favorite camera works forever. This is "choose one and live with it in the real world".

K1000 + M24-35mm/3.5. And since we're in the land of hypotheticals, can I please have an unlimited supply of Kodachrome 64 to shoot with?

Yes of course, as long as you and I both have equal access to the stash.

A tough one, but, I'll go old school M42 ...

I'll be keeping the Spotmatic F and Asahi Macro Takumar 50/4

The wife will be keeping the Pentax K2 with K28/3.5

And we'll be switching out as needed. ;-)

(assuming it's what we already own)

Someone is going to have to loan me an LX, 645, and 67 to try out before I make my choice.

I would go with this too.
Just a thought, is this thread going to be kept secret from partners? I don't want my wife to get any ideas.

Pentax LX and A35-135, stack of primes just for flexibility. If I had to choose a prime maybe K35f2.
