Digital

My primary camera is a Leica Q2, a medium compact mirror-less digital camera with a 47.3-megapixel full-frame sensor that captures richly detailed still pictures and 4K video. The Q2 creates images through a fixed  Summilux 28 mm f/1.7 ASPH lens.   

I chose Leica for its exceptional build quality, precision engineering, and ultra-high-quality lens. The camera is simple, allowing maximum focus on creating, not playing with settings.  

 The Leica minilux is the first in a series of four luxury titanium clad point and shoot camera that were produced by Leica starting from 1995; it is equipped with a high-quality lens and body.   It uses 35mm film and is equipped with Leica's Summarit 40mm f/2.4 lens which is very sharp. 

This is a fun camera to use.  It fits in a pocket.  It looks like a cheap tourist camera, which is perfect for quick and candid streets images.   I usually carry this daily. 

The various versions of the Nikon F2 were the world's top professional 35mm film SLRs from 1971 through 1980, and by some people's recollection, the top 35mm SLR of all time. Nikon F2 was the king of newspaper and magazine photography of the 1970s.  Its development in part was fueled by cameras developed for NASA for Apollo and SkyLab missions. 

The Nikon F2 is an extraordinarily well-made all-mechanical SLR.  It's a tank compared to modern mirrorless cameras' lightweight designs.  The F2 system includes numerous manual focus lenses, various interchangeable finders, focus screens, 250 exposure backs, and motor drives.  The F2 maintains a cult status with professional and amateur film photographers. 

I picked mine up on eBay.  It was in perfect working condition, including the meter. It is a fun camera, but heavy to carry all day at over 2 lbs.  

The Yashica Mat-124 was produced between 1968 and 1970.  It is a twin-lens reflex producing a 6x6 square negative. Designed as a Rolleiflex copy, the Mat-124 features a four-element, 80mm f/3.5 lens set of the better "Yashinon" variety, shutter speeds from 1-second to 1/500th, an aperture range of f/3.5 - f/32, a bright ground-glass viewfinder, an auto-stop film advance, and ergonomic aperture/shutter controls.

I purchased mine used and unworking. I had it fully restored to factory specification. It is a fun camera, but heavy compared to modern compact digital cameras. It never fails to attract a few comments.
