Thanks for the TVS tip.
It is funny like you said. I took more images with the Rollei E110 last year than the Pen FT. That was surprising because I thought I was using the Pen FT all the time last year and I was just having fun with the Rollei.
The "good deals" will get you every time. I never sell them either. Lol.
So what’s the takeaway from this? Keep the most used then start selling off the little used ones first? Keep the Leicas, Hasselblad, the Lomo, a bag of P&S sell everything else and buy a Macan? Or try to incorporate more in to the rotation? We’re all aware of the problem with selling gear, a month after it’s gone it’s exactly what you need.
In descending order of use:
- Hasselblad 503 CX
- Hasselblad 903 SWC
- Nikon N75 and F100
- Nikonos V
- WideLux F7
- 4"x5" Pacemaker Speed Graphic and Graflex Model D
There is no Model D, it is called Series D
Since I shoot Ektachrome the most, my Nikon F90x see's the most action.
But I am always wanting to fondle my F2, while thinking about how small and light my FG is.
If I didn't know what you were talking about, I'd think you were a perv
Many people mistake me for one... But I really am a nice and harmless camera fondler.
Since I used the F80 for the first time a couple of years ago, my other film cameras see not much sun light anymore. The F80 is the Swiss Army knife of 35mm cameras.
Out of curiosity is there a fee to register on filmtrackr and if not how does this site pay for itself, what are the benefits for it?

I don't have enough cameras for this to be a problem.I use this website filmtrackr.com to keep track of what film is in what camera.
It offers crude reporting so out of curiousity I ran a report to see which camera I used the most.
Out of 124 cameras - all used! (but many since sold), the Leica M7 has had 62 rolls through it, with the Nikon F6 at 52. Leica M5 @ 32, Fuji GW690III @ 31, Lomo LCA-120 @ 27, Fuji TX-2 @ 24, Rollei A110 @ 27, Hasselblad H1 @ 20.
It is easy to put more rolls through medium format cameras, as they have fewer shots per roll. But this indicates that the M7 is my favourite camera, and cameras like the F2, F3 etc which I think I love are actually hardly used!
My Fuji Klasse W which I bought maybe 2 months ago has had 17 rolls through it - more than any of my Nikon SLRs apart from my F6. And I've had those Nikons for years. That is a reflection to how good and fun to use the Fuji is.
This will be a good way to declutter...
