Linhof rangefinder 6x9 with rollfilm back.  I use it hand held and find it a
very good street camera.  This is more my feeling of openness and freedom
rather than other peoples reaction to it.   To increase the cameras bulk I
have a large hammerhead flashgun mounted on a bracket opposite the handgrip.
OTH on the rare occasions when I use the Leica M2 on the street I always
feel a bit ridiculous taking photos of perfect strangers with such a sneaky
little camera.  The M2 is good among friends and family. Apart from changing
lenses, the Linhof and M2 share the same user technique and get the most
use.

I also use a Zeiss Ikon folder and a Yashicamat 625G.

For colour I use the more modern semi-auto Pentax and Canon.
