Fir me, the oldest camera and lenses that I
regularly use go back to 1959, and the BW film I most often use
goes back to those times as well. What about you?
My oldest is probably my Mamiya C3

I like some old things. Some are just indefinably _cool_.
Others are sturdier, or simpler, or just _interesting_
Just wondering if anyone has a link for dating
(working out age of) Spotmatics. I am curious to know
if mine is older than me. I think it probably is :)
Then I can tease it about being an old fogey.

In 35mm I use the MXs and MZ5n, so I guess new and relatively new.
For 4x5 it is all old; the Calumet monorail would be the newest, at
30 -40years old. The Speedgraphic would be at least 10 years older, while my
Instantograph is the 1893 model. I can't say that I use them a lot, but they
do get
Guess the oldest would be the Crown Graphic (1952), unless
the Ricohflex is older but I don't think it is (definately
pre 1955 though). Oldest (and newest) Pentax are ME Supers.
Film? Ilford FP4. Favorite films no longer available? Ansco
Super Hypan, and much later Ilford XP1 developed in XP1

Haven't used my Speed Graphic 4x5 in at least 25 years, but I remember
examining the bellows and exercising the focal plane shutter recently. This
model had a
64 such.
Most of the time, I can be found with Spotmatic family member and SMCT
lenses though.

Daily shooter Spotmatic SP. The Takumar 1:4/300 gets used every
month or two. Kodachrome has changed emulsions, but the name is
old (1936?).

Well the oldest camera in my possession is a Zeiss-Ikon Contina 35mm folder
with a Novar Anastigmat f3.5 lens in a Prontor shutter. Although somewhat
worn by now it still works (I used it recently just to check it out). Like
many cameras of that day the viewfinder is small and the rangefinder

I use old cameras. My most contemporary are an LX and MX. I have
Spotmatics and an H3v that I use now and then. I have a Mamiya C220 that
I use fairly often. I would guess it dates from the mid to late sixties.
And I have a Speed Graphic (late forties or early fifties?) that I use
when I have
my oldest cameras are a wonderful voigtlander perkeo II folder (1953
vintage), which takes 6x6 negs, and my beloved little Rollei 35 (1969
vintage, with the 40/3.5 tessar). any film works, really.
