A Nikon F4 with 20f2.8 lens. It was for me anyway, thiese past few days, visiting with my 80 year old parents on their retired farm. Pics to follow.
 
Wow! I was out shooting yesterday in Newburyport with my FM2 and Nikkor 20 f2.8. Recently got the HK-14 lens hood for it. Bit on the heavy side :)

For me it's the joys of re-discovering medium format. I've taken a bunch of portraits as of late, and am stunned by the quality of a good 120 negative. Makes me wonder, at times, why I even bother with 35mm.

I do love a 20/21 on an SLR. I use a zuiko 2/21 often. It's fun having fast and wide together. Looking through the wide lens on a reflex is a fun and satisfying way to compose. I love RF of course but sometimes, you know.... :D
Looking forward to your pics Frank.
 
For me and the F4 it's the 180mm 2.8 AF...pure magic...
Widest lens is the 24mm...would love the try a wider lens...just don't think I would use one regularly enough to buy...

Helen: Wow, that is quite an adventure and a pleasurable couple of days!

Andy: The Zuiko 21/2 is amazing, isn't it? I haven't used it in quite awhile; I need to do that.

OT: Anyone have a source on an original hood for the 21/2? Mine lost its set screw and is now pretty useless. Anyone know of an alternative? The 21/2 has 55mm thread.

Mmmmmm.... Yeah.... But you're young. I loved my SV too. And quite a few girls that I met when I owned it. I didn't marry any of them... Now I'm happy with my wife of almost 30 years, and Leicas...

Cheers,

R.
 
Happiness to me is having somewhere to hang out with like minded people!
 
Ha! So cool. My itouch timer accidentally got turned off, but I can see by the timing on these posts that there are 8 minutes to go. :)

I use a Contax 55-86mm Step up. It becomes a high quality thread in metal hood for the Zuiko 2/21. I robbed it from my Contax kit.
