1. Leica, for obvious reasons
2. Olympus. While 4/3rds may be fail (but just because of the small finders), it does show the great thing about the company: a willingness to experiment and innovate to get good camera designs. Most of the new features that all DSLRs in the past few years have gotten were pioneered on 4/3rds (for instance, live view) and in the past, Olympus (under designer Yoshihisa Maitani) created some of the best camera designs of all time, like the Pen F half-frame SLR and the OM SLR system for 135 film.

3. Can't really decide a third. Something like Alpa, Sinar, Linhof... something like that.

1. Kilfitt. Now-gone German optics firm that made top-of-the-line, innovative lens designs: a 180/1.3 and the first production still zoom, a 36-82/2.8. Also the only company with QC tighter than Leica: every lens that left the factor was tested with two exposures on glass plates (film isn't flat enough for a proper test, you see), bolted into concrete. One was kept at the factory and numbered with the serial number of the lens for later use (repairs, etc.) and the other was shipped with the lens.

2. Leica, again for obvious reasons.

3. Cosina. All the new Zeiss and Voigtlander stuff is actually them.

The definitely produce lenses, I'm not sure if they own the workers and factories that produce the raw material though.

Well, I was hoping we could elevate it to a reasonable discussion on the history of photography and/or what we value in cameras and lenses.

Leica anyone?

Did you honestly, in a million years, think that that would happen?

Like, even if you'd given a post along the lines of "What are your favorite camera and lens makers, and why?", which would have incited some discussion rather than the format you picked which just makes people fill out the form, did you honestly think there was the barest minimum chance that that would happen?

If you did, you're a fool. If not, you're just a troll.
