I wonder, what's the most stylish camera in your collection. Not judged by technical issues, just by its design.
My all time favorites are probably the japanese "Samocas", but I also quite like a Bencini Koroll, which I recently got. Self customized beauties are of course to be considered as well. Golden coatings or pink snake leather skins perhaps ? ;D

None of the above (but possibly as I don't have either). I'm having a think about it. I haven't got one, but my first thoughts would probably be the Werra.
spelling corrected.

Hi Bernd ! I also think that the Bencini Comet`s and Koroll`s are beautiful little cameras, I have about 15 different models in my collection. You found these very cheap two decades ago, but now they are quite rare, even in Italy. Here are my top three:  Purma Special  Zeiss Ikonette 35 ( The so called Zeiss Banana )  and the Olympus Ecru MIK |

What I should have added before is that Randy's choice is certainly one of the most stylish of the (almost) modern era.

Nice stuff ... and MIK, you do have really exotic looking cameras in your collection.

This stylish number is from the halcyon days of Japanese design:    Beam me up Scottie! p.s. - I've since given it to my daughter (who tutors in industrial design). She loves it. |

Here are 3 from my collection that have some style, the Werra, the Delco 828, and the Fuji Q1.

I see a few more nice entries. Isn't it interesting, that cameras of the past often had an intentionally "futuristic design", while a "retro look" is more seen as stylish today ?

That seems the best so far, Mickey.
