Leica: Mercedes Benz (genau) Nikon: Cadillac (count the dumb bells and whistles. Very popular with rental fleets) Canon: (Lincoln - as above, but probably a bit more up to date. Highly popular with professionals). Contax (Japan): BMW (South Carolina!) Rolleiflex: Medium Format. Saab (yes!!) Rolleiflex SL2000F: Amphicar Hasselblad: Volvo Gandolfi: Morgan Old Alpa: Aston Martin (Finicky, but georgeous) New Alpa: Hummer (rugged, but so pricey! Also, don't expect to go fast.) Minolta: Fiat Mamiya: Audi Pentax (6x7): Opel Pentax K1000: Whatever the first car that you inherited from your grandparents was. "The Learnermobile" Olympus Pen: MG Voigtländers Of Yore - Bentley of Yore Voigtlanders of today: Volkwagen, especially the new Beetle. Kodak: Chevrolet Simon Stevens
