Strange but in a good way. I still prefer analog black & white, I use a Leica M6 with Ilford xp2 film which I really really love and recently I have been using a Hasselblad 500CM which is also very lovely. I occasionally use a panasonic lx3 or a nikon d200. But I still make the best pictures using analog I think. Sometimes I make interesting pics with my mobile phone. Most of my previous black & white pictures are taken with my nikon fe2 or leica cl. Newer ones where taken with the leica M6, with 40mm/2.0 summilux or 90mm/2.8 elmarit or the Hasselblad 500CM with Carl Zeiss Planar T 80/2.8.

 

Recently I started doing some digital using a Leica M8, and before that an Epson R-D1. Got some nice Voigtländer Nokton 35/1.4, Carl Zeiss sonar 50/1.5 and Leica elmarit 28/2.8 lenses too. The M8 is the first digital camera that I really like and which actually makes me use less film...

 

In the end, it is not about the equipment, but of course, the emotional attachement I have with my cameras does influence my photography.

 

Oh and I do mostly black and white because colour is so hard!
