Very nice. The 55/1.2 doesn't hurt the look

I always liked Olympus cameras, very sleek and pretty. I had an OM-2n and OM-4 myself in earlier days. The Nikons and Canons seemed very clunky in comparison (I own a D3 now).

The E-PL1 looks nice with the leather skin kit that is now available:

Anyone remember this ridiculous thing?

I post it not because I think it's beautiful, but because this thread seems to have tunred into an ugly contest.

My vote for most beautiful camera (that I own, at least) goes to the Nikon F4.

Yes. My uncle had one. I thought it was an Olympus, but anyway it sure looked like that. He took some nice photos with it.

I got one or two of those. Never thought it was particularly attractive. Not like this Arca-Swiss (which is on my list of things to get when I fall into a lot of money)

Some of the Voigtl�nder Bergheil models are very beautiful:

The Alpa 12 TC is also really neat. Note that the wooden handgrip is strictly optional

I think the smaller film version is prettier:

I picked one up close-out for $79... worth a lot more than that now!

I have to go with this one as most beautiful, because without it, nobody would be pixel peeping today

(ok I exaggerate but you get the idea):

If I had one. I'd sensitize some newly polished silver coated plates and shoot with it, with appropriate 1840's style clothing

Nice...and it's design is beautiful enough for MOMA to display so that has to count for something.

Mega- WOW!!!

Any story to this beauty?

(The Ti Leica M9 at $25_000 garners snickers and worse (but reportedly has its 500 quota sold out three times over, already -- laughter into the bank!), but this gold Pentax, it LOOKS worth the money!)
