How Many Cameras do you Own?

[zsas]

Oh mods, can we merge this neat new thread into the old one, now that the old one was brought back to life today?

(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

That thread's in the LF forum. They prolly don't care about us.

I've updated the title of the other thread to specify "LF Cameras."

Ahhh makes sense thanks for the clarification

I seem to have about eighteen, of which one has a stuffed shutter. They range from a Minox B up to a 4x5 B&J Press, and all but two are film. About six see regular use -- depending on how one defines 'regular use'. I generally shoot the Argus C3 once a year on Argus Day, an event which appears to be fading away, but it did get me to CLA the camera and calibrate the rangefinder. Somewhere in a drawer is a cheap 110 camera bought in frustration when I had an unexpected opportunity to do some sightseeing on a business trip circa 1988.

I think I have enough cameras but have been having a mild GAS attack about getting an EOS film camera to share some lenses I have on hand. My heart leans toward a fairly decent one like a 1V, but my head keeps pointing out I'm shooting mostly MF these days.

 

[ursbernhard]

My main cameras at the moment are:

ArcaSwiss M-Line 8x10
ArcaSwiss F-Line metric 4x5

MF, since two years I rarely use MF, but my wife does:
Rolleiflex 6008 i2
Rolleiflex 2,8F
Rolleiflex FW

35mm, very but very rarely used:
Pentax Spotmatic SP
Ricoh GR

Digital, it's my wife's but I used it twice:
Panasonic G1

I'll also have to go with the NDA, as CGW said.

Alright I am just too lazy to count and there's nothing really to be to show off, if I do so probably get laugh at,

 

[j-dogg]

A lot, I have more lenses than anything. Lots of Canon EOS and Nikon F stuff

EOS 650
Rebel Ti
2x Elan A2
Canon 5d and Rebel XTi binary edition

Nikkormat FTN / Nikon FG

Got an Olympus XA2, Nikon Lite Touch 28 f3.5, and a Yashica Lynx 14e

 

[dnjl]

35mm:
- Minolta HiMatic 7sII
- Canon F-1n and 3 lenses

Medium format:
- Fuji GW690
- RB67 ProSD system
- Zeiss Super Ikonta 533/16 (broken )

I have a "buy one, sell one" policy.

How many cameras do you own that your wife, significant other, partner doesn't know about ?

Not many and that's causing me a problem She wants to have some more on display in our apartment in Turkey and it's those that I'd rather be using here in the UK

Have some replicas made... but don't do what the BBC did with microphones in the 1970s. Management were worried about performers miming with real microphones on Top of the Pops so they had some very realistic looking replicas built. They cost more than the actual microphones!

What is a Nikon FE75?

 

[pgomena]

Three view cameras, seven 35mm (most of which go unused any more, some inherited) and two 6x6 - a TLR and an SLR. More than enough to get the job done.

What is a Nikon FE75?

I think is is a non-US version of the Nikon N75 that is having an identity crisis and is regressing from a Nikon F75 to a Nikon FE75. If the regression gets really bad it will become a Nikon FED75 and start speaking Russian!

 

[John_Nikon_F]

Currently, not very many.

SLR:

Nikon F5 (actually in my hands, as in, I can grab it and shoot with it)
Nikon F FTn (2/3rd's paid off - should be paid off by the weekend and then shipped out next week)
Pentax Super A (bought this for a friend - still need to get the paperwork necessary to cross the border into Canada and deliver it to him)

off-topic:

1 Canon point 'n shoot mainly used for film camera pr0n.

In the past, I've owned up to 13 cameras at a time.

In January 2006:

Nikomat FTn parts camera
Nikkormat FT2
Nikomat FT2
Nikon F
Nikon F2A x2
Nikon F3HP
Nikon F3P
Nikon F4
Nikon FM x2 (one black, one chrome)
Nikon FM2n x2 (one parts camera, one frankenstein camera)
Minox IIIS

I think the happy medium for me will probably be three Nikon film bodies. My F5, my old F2AS, when I get it back, and my F FTn.

Since 1984, I've owned:

4 Pentax H3v/SV cameras (three H3v's, one SV)
5 Pentax Spotmatic cameras (two SP, two Honeywell 1st gen, one Spot F parts cam)
3 ME Supers (two worked, one didn't)
Super A
SF10 - didn't work
2 Nikkormat FT bodies (one working, one donor)
24 Nikkormat/Nikomat FTn bodies (some functional, some parts)
16 Nikkormat/Nikomat FT2 bodies (same as above)
4 Nikkormat FT3 bodies
3 Nikkormat/Nikomat EL bodies (two worked, but weren't that great, one had dead cells)
3 Nikon FE bodies (one worked, two parts)
2 Nikon FE2 bodies
9 Nikon FM bodies (some parts, some ok)
3 Nikon FM2 bodies (early model - one good, two parts)
22 Nikon FM2n bodies (two parts bodies)
13 Nikon F bodies (two junkers)
12 Nikon F2 bodies
12 Nikon F3 bodies (two Press versions included, and two parts cameras)
15 Nikon F4 bodies
5 Nikon F5 bodies
2 Hasselblad 500c bodies
1 Hasselblad 500EL body (junker - came with an 80/2.8 T* that was good)
2 Leica R4 bodies
1 Minox IIIS

168 cameras since December 1st, 1984. Between 1984 and 2004, I'd owned ten total. One of the Pentax H3v bodies, three Nikkormat/Nikomat FTn bodies, a Nikkormat FT2, an FM2n, two FM's, the Minox, and one of the F3P bodies. Cameras started exploding in early 2005 for me. Discovered that I could try something for two months, get bored, then get something else. Usually, a week or so later, I'd miss the old item and either get it back or get one just like it. Still doing it, I see.
