Mine was taken for a couple of blog posts. One was about 44 years of using Olympus cameras, professionally since 1980. But the only reason I use m4/3 is because of my 4/3 HG and SHG glass. I started slowly transitioning to Sony some time ago.

It's the image that's important, not the tools used to make it. I wonder if carpenters list the hammers they use on carpentry forums.

I have a lot of film cameras, but since the early 80's, the Canon AE-1P has been my primary for a manual focus camera. Below that is one of many pictures I have gotten with this setup.

 AE-1P, 35mm f/2 - still some Tri-X in the camera

A camera is just a camera. Who is behind it, matters far more.

My Minolta X300 (on holiday!). Had it new in 1985 and used it until 2008 when I bought a DSLR. Started using it again in the last couple of years.

My favorite user medium format camera set - Pentacon six with fisheye, 50, 80 and 300 mm lenses. 180 mm F/2.8 is waiting on my shelf to be fixed.

 And others - some good shooters, some too nice to be used :)

Is it all about brands again? I shoot with Mamiya, Pentax, Olympus, Minolta in film; and Sony, Pentax, Panasonic and Nikon in digital and of course I use even more brands when you count third party lenses. So no, it is not all about brand allegiance.
