Camera collection

Leica R, originally uploaded by Atom Moore.

Recently, we had a loaner of a Hasselblad H3DII, which is a high-end medium format digital SLR. My husband took the opportunity to use it to document our entire camera collection. He set up a little mini-studio on our dining room table and got to shooting. Now that I have recovered from the seizures I had from the dozens of times the flash fired, I thought I'd share them.

This photo is of two of my film SLRs. (Yes, I still shoot film sometimes. I'm super retro.) The one on the left is a limited-edition Leica R3 Safari with a matching 50mm f2 Summicron lens, made in the late '70s. The one on the right, taking an unauthorized nap break, is a Leica R4, the R3's successor, with a 100mm f4 macro lens. Both are manual focus cameras but have exposure meters and both manual and automatic exposure modes.

The rest of our collection can be seen here.

My favorite digital camera is the 5D (SLR), closely followed by my Leica D-Lux 3 (point & shoot). My favorite film camera is the Leica R3 Safari. It's almost as old as I am but is holding up much better.
