I've known many a serious artist to have said something like this, "It's not about the equipment, it's about the results."
Well, yea. That's true, but the equipment can be pretty important and it can also be a heck of a lot of fun.
Perhaps I'm just not serious enough about "my art."
I don't see any way around it, the tool in your hand influences the work you do. It's true that a talented photographer will produce good work no matter what tool he is given. It's also true that the tool will constrain and influence that work.
Most importantly, I just dig the gear.
I'll add gear here as I get around to it and show it in no particular order.
Balda Super Baldax--German made, folding medium format rangefinder camera
#1 Autographic Kodak Jr.--6x9 folding camera dating to about 1914
Iskra--1960's Soviet copy of the Agfa Super Isolette
Savoy -- 1960's Cute red plastic camera
Balda Super Baldina -- German made, 35mm rangefinder from the 1950's.
