I'm primarily a Nikon guy.

For digital, depending on the situation, I use:

1. D800
2. D600
3. D3s
4. Df
5. D700

I have more lenses than I care to count. One of my most used is actually the 24-120 f/4, but I'm not shy about primes or zooms that get the job done. One of my favorite walk around combos for the past week, and probably for an upcoming trip in a few weeks, has been the Df with an AI-s 35mm f/1.4. My mainstay staple "pro" modern lenses include the 14-24mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/2.8, and 105mm AF Micro-Nikkor f/2.8D(I prefer it over the VR version which I owned and sold). Of course, I also have more small fast primes in both auto and manual than I care to count.

I also shoot a lot of film, and have very nearly every Nikon film SLR made(if anyone wants to help me check some boxes, the top missing ones now to round things out are the FM3a, a working N80, and a Nikkormat FT3). With that said, my most used ones these days are the F6, F100, and two different F2s(F2AS and F2SB).

I'm a Hasselblad junkie when it comes to MF film, although I also use an RB67 when I don't mind the weight and want the film area. Lately, I've been having fun with a Zeiss Super Ikonta 532/16(6x6 folder with a coupled rangefinder and coated f/2.8 CZ Opton Tessar). I shoot 4x5-mostly these days with a Calumet(Cambo) 45N, although I have a pile of other 4x5 cameras.

Lately, I've been dabbling in the Olympus OM system. I have the OM-1, OM-2, and OM-4. There are a handful of lenses I'd like to have outside my current 28/35/50 and 70-210 kit, but I haven't been motivated to pay the current going rates for them.

I use to be a heavy user of Canon FD equipment, and still have a lot of that.

I have my obligatory Leica kit, although I rarely use it. I get tired of the tedious film loading and tiny finder of the IIIc, so usually use my lenses on a Canon 7.

There are also some other fun odds and ends like the Pentax Auto 110 that sits on my desk, and the half frame Olympus Pen FT that takes me forever to shoot a roll of film through.

I have more cameras than brains...

Had Canon before that, switched to Fuji and never looked back.

Favourite camera? Fuji GX617 panoramic film camera. Quite a beast but had to sell it as I didn’t use it enough. It was an expensive system to run film through. Many fond memories of it though.

Canon 7DII for birds and other wildlife where I really need the speed and reach, and EOS R for everything else.

Serious reply here ...

The one that is in my hands at the time I compose, frame, and expose an image ....

DSLR + various lens, or smartphone - including new 11Pro, or disposable panorama ....

Olympus OM-D Mark II and an original E-M5. Mostly with the 12-40mm and 40-150mm f/2.8 zooms, but also with some primes and 9-18mm.
I shot with Nikon DSLR gear from 2004 to 2010. I bought a Panasonic GF1 in 2010, which started my transition to m4/3.
I also have an iPhone X, but might upgrade to the 11 Pro just to get the ultrawide. I usually have one of my Olympus cameras with me, but sometimes just my iPhone. I still prefer shooting with a dedicated camera and viewfinder whenever possible, but I often use my iPhone alongside my cameras or when I just need to take a quick snapshot.

Curious about this A9II "rumored" to be announced next month. That thing is going to be a beast, imho.
Replying to myself ?

Saying goodbye to that thought of the A92. An A7R4 made it's way into my home along with a 24-70mm GM.

As my signature line states, the Canon 5D Mark IV. I just recently bought the fujifilm x100f. I have the 24-70 f/2.8, 70-200 f/4, 16-35 f/4 (I downsized from the f/2.8 models because I am trying to lighten the camera bag load and I shoot with tripods mostly doing landscapes) and a 2 non-canon lenses. I am curious about the next iteration of Canon's mirrorless follow up to the EOS R.

Nikon D750 and D850. Old D7100 as a backup.
I’ve been thinking about the Z6 and Z7, but those EVFs just are not fast enough yet. I hope someday they will be.

Leica SL-System. One camera, one lens. Old school M6 for scale.

Don’t want to be a pedant but that’s an SL-system! Quite a rare thing, how do you like it?
Well that was embarrassing.? Thanks for catching that.

I love the experience of shooting with this thing. As someone coming from shooting with the Sony α7, the menus are a lot more intuitive, and can be customized with a favorites page so certain functions can be accessed even more easily. The EVF is also the best I've ever used, and is probably the second best on the market right now after the Panasonic S1/S1R (at least as far as resolution is concerned). I also really like having the large display on the top of the camera, which Leica originally pioneered with the S2, so I can see all my exposure settings at a glance.

I do however miss having an articulating screen for getting shots at awkward angles, and it's incredibly heavy with the 24-90, whereas with the α7, you could almost forget you had the camera slung around your neck. And if I'm nitpicking, the shutter release could have a bit more travel, but presses are nice and crisp.
