Pentax K-5, usually.
I collect antique/old cameras so I have a wide choice from about 250.
From 8mm to 8"x10".
I am particular about the camera I use so I shop very carefully before I buy.
I have had six film cameras since 1954. Most of them were used for up to about 10 years.
My last film camera, a Canon T90 I used for 20 years before reluctantly switching to digital. I have had 4 digitals since then, none of which can match the T90. But my Pentax K5 comes close.
The first 2 digitals were hopeless electronic gadgets. The next, a Canon K1000 was fairly decent but had an unfortunate hobby of collecting dust at every opportunity. My present K-5 is excellent as long as I do not let it do all the thinking.

Fujifilm X-T1 and a growing stable of lenses. Currently saving up for my next prime (16 or 56).
I'm also still shooting some film with a Canon AE-1 and a point and shoot I found at my mom's house.
I'm on the look out for a couple of vintage cameras Yaschika Electro 35, Cannot QL17 or an Olympus 35rc. If any of you have these collecting dust I'm interested..

I may have just scored big time on a Yashica Electro 35 GSN this week. I ordered it just a few days ago, and it just arrived today. All of the most common problems it's most known for having, it doesn't have. I wasn't able to score a battery at Radio Shack or Interstate today, so I had to order one from Amazon. If the seals and the meter check out, I'm one lucky ducky. I got this thing at an amazing price...
This is not my camera, but the one I'm talking about.

Keep your fingers crossed for my meter test and light seal test...
