    Curious about what gear is being used,
    I'll start with the gear I still use today on a more or less regular base
    Our two Canon Eos 3 cameras.One in HS(high speed) config with the Powerbooster PB-E2.
    The other Eos 3 is in standard config with the normal grip and for this photo EF 17-35mm F2.8L USM and EF 28-70mm F2.8L USM attached

    And the one I use the most (almost every week)
    My trusty Canon Eos 1V (also in HS configuration with another PB-E2 powerbooster) and a Canon EF 24 mm F/1.4 L II USM

    And also on that photo a selection of our other gear

    Do also own a couple Canon Eos 1n bodies, one also in HS config with the PB-E1 powerbooster and the other is in a dual power config with a BP-E1 batterypack, but both are not used very often.
    And still own my first Canon SLR a Canon Eos 1000F (still in great condition) which started my Canon Eos G.A.S. back in the days.

    Started as a kid somewhere in the 70s with a Olympus trip 35, switched to an Olympus OM-10QD but because of a fabrication error I replaced it with a normal OM-10.
    Made a mistake by switching to a Pentax P-30, but didn't get used to it and replaced that one with the mentioned Canon Eos 1000F.

    You sure have some Canon history :)

    I only started shooting film about 3 years ago. I pulled my fathers film cameras out of the closet, where they had been for many years before his passing in 2010. He had a Mamiya C220, Minolta Autocord and an Olympus XA. I shoot with them now, mostly the C220. And because I really enjoy film (shooting, develop, scanning), I have also acquired some more: Mamiya RB67, Nikon FM2, FE, Yashica Electro 35 to name a few I like to shoot with.

    I own several Nikon F cameras from my father who passed away. I mostly use his Nikon F2 and my FM3A (bought it some time ago) if I am lazy. Doing it to keep the memories of him alive, mostly while having a walk to empty my head.
    It is much more fun than with digital and the results are rewarding for the effort put in.
    My favourite film ist Fujicolor C200 +1 stop overexposed.

    The rising film prices and falling stock dampen the fun quite a bit though.

    I've shot cameras as long as I can remember starting as a kid back in the '60's. By high school in the mid-70's, I got my first 35mm.
    I have a collection of Nikon F's and F2's which I still use. Great gear.

    I shoot Olympus Om-1 and I have a OM-2sp.... also several Leica's but I prefer my OM's.... I have a greater variety of Lens'. Just yesterday I shot with a 55mm and a 24. Something I cannot do with the Leica. The Zuiko lens line is superb! ....
