I use a Hasselblad 203FE with 40CFE, 60CF, 100CFi, and 180 CFi lenses. My
daughter has a Hasselblad 503CW with 50CFi, 80CFE, and 150CFi lenses. We
mix and match when necessary. I also have a FlexBody.

Next up, I have a Linhof Technikardan 45S with 75/4.5 Grandagon, 120/5.6
Super-Symmar HM, 180/5.6 Super-Symmar MC, 270/360/500/720 Nikkor T*ED
lenses. Interesting... "all" of these LF lenses have a 67mm filter thread.

To stay on topic, I have a Leica R7 with 21, 35/2, 35PC, 50/2, 60, 90/2.8,
180/2.8, and 350 lenses and 2x APO. And I have two M6's, one black, one
chrome, with 24 ASPH, 35/1.4 ASPH, 50/1.4, and 75 lenses.

For serious "awesome grandeur" style landscape photography, I use the
Linhof 95% and the Hasselblad 5%. For urban and other 'scapes, I use the
Hasselblad 100% of the time. For have with me at all times, photograph
anything and everything, hand held photography, I use the M6's. For book
illustrations, telephoto, and other tripod based 35mm work, I use the R7.
The R7 is the least used camera I have. Hasselblad and Linhof the most used.
