Another vote for the Rollei 35S. Second choice lately is a Kiev II with the Orion 28mm.

Panasonic/Leica Digilux or Leica IIIa/50 Summar f2.0/Ilford Pan F-- number of images varies.

True, true. But luckily my real walk around cameras - Canon F1 (mechanical) and FTb have survived since the 1970s, and I have not busted a view camera yet (knock knock).Originally Posted by Frank Petronio
Come to think of it, I did dent the filter ring on the rear element of my Fuji 450C during my last trip to Yosemite . . . .
Mamiya 7
I used to carry Rollei 35S and T models. Alas, 35mm is too small.
I wanted to quip that the 8x10 Deardorff was my walking around camera. Anyone who visited with me at the Brooks Steamup last weekend would smile at the thought of this. A short in stature man hauling that huge rig all over the Powerland grounds.
If I were to buy a cam specifically for this it would be a bessa R2 (used) or a mamiya 7II, right now, its a nikon FG (tiny)
Iskra, Zorki6, Fed2, Yashica GSN - one of them would always be with me.
Sometimes the Crown Graphic with a 120mm Digitar and a grafmatic, when it is a nice sunny day (The Kalart rangefinder is adjusted for this lens, but I cannot handhold it below 1/30 which means I need quite a lot of light
Olympus 35 RC plus an old Olympus Trip in the glove compartment.
Leica IIIc with a Jupiter 12 35/2.8 or the Zorki 3M with a Jupiter 8 50/2 or maybe the Ricoh Diacord.
OK, just a l'l old Nikon FE10 with a beat-up 35mm lens. Fine for street shots and as an aide memoire, and doesn't get in the way...much.
Of course a Leica CL would be nice (is there an emoticon for "dream on"?).

For me, it's a Leica M6TTL. It often scouts for its big brother.
