Being in the last place one would look helps keep things in balance.
I recently misplaced the 28mm lens for the Nokonos V some place in my home. I have looked everywhere I can think of. Now I have to look in places that I cannot think of. It will be in the last place that I would look. <<sigh>>
This is not fun nor is it funny!
Just buy another one and put it away in a safe place.
You’ll find the misplaced one in that place.
Always works for me; the last time for me was negative pages.
Somewhere in this house is the 83mm f1.9 Takumar from my Father's Asahiflex. Since I have a restored Asahiflex IIa I'd llke to unite the kit, since I have 50mm f3.5 and f2.4, extension tubes, etc. He was an avid wildflower shooter.
The 83mm is here.....somewhere.

Even though I searched the bag several times since it ran away, but an hour ago the 28mm lens reappeared. And so it was in the last place I looked.
I live in a 143 year old farmhouse so when I lose something (I swear I don't misplace things) ; ) I threaten the spirits cohabitating my house with having an exorcism performed.
Usually turns up up within an hour.
Being a softy my threats are just a bluff so I quit looking and find it eventually right where I left it.

Years ago. I could not find the special long Apple Mac torx tool needed to open a Mac case and found it by dowsing.
A couple weeks ago I lost my debit card and getting a new one did not turn it up as expected. I did, however, look for the old one in my wallet over and over and over again as if it would suddenly appear.

Time to find the OP's camera.
An invocation and donation to my friend Tony might help!
He should try dowsing. Get a couple of coat hangers and modify them. Easy to do.
I think we should pause and reflect our good fortune to live a life where we can afford to have so much stuff we can't keep track of it all.

When we die the one with the most stuff wins!
This saying was created by relatives who, upon your death, will promptly sell or throw away all the stuff you worked so hard to acquire.
It must be a Michigan thing. UP or LP?
My grandparents lived a similar farmhouse. It was amazing when I went into the attic to chase out the squirrels living there to see the hand hewn on one side tree sapling roof rafters and still energized uninsulated wire running between glass insulators powering their ceiling lights. No wiring going to outlets in the wall, that came from the fuse box (buried in the far corner of the crawl space, close to the electrical drop from the utility.
Back then, code need not apply - oops: this is the reason that codes apply.
WOW! How far has this thread drifted from my lost RB67?
Hey, at least I helped bring it here
Lower, on Anchor Bay in New Baltimore. House has no foundation, just on brick piers with a mixture of cedar beams and mortise and tenon parts, probably left over from a barn, to shim here and there. In the attic is a roof with cedar shingles leading me to believe the rear of the house was an addition at one time.
It was "remodeled" in the 70's before I moved in so now there is copper plumbing and lots of drywall among other so called improvements. Still have knob and tube wiring under the drywall that has long been disconnected.
Found a trapdoor during a remodel of sorts that gained access to under the house and found some clay pipes, pottery, a shoe that thankfully had no foot in it and other little knicknacks. Also under the house was a large boulder that was obviously too big to move. No RB67's or any other cameras though but I may give it another go.
Due to its current condition my wife and I will probably be the last inhabitants and the spirits will have find a new place to haunt.

At least sometimes, they don't care if the house is still regularly occupied; they're content to haunt any teenagers who accept a dare to stay overnight.
Tim,
It's a good thing you found it or it would be haunting you until the day you die. About 30 years I ago, I took a newly acquired Rollei 35S and a mint Voigthlander vitessa T to show a friend. I'm still looking for them, and it still pisses me off that I can't remember where I left them. I'll be thinking about this when I'm laying on my deathbed, I'm sure of that. Some things die hard I guess.

I wasn't aware that Tim found his camera. What did I miss?
It was in the last place that he would look and it was found in the last place he did look.

Hmmm. I must have dozed off.
He must have done a happy dance when he found his camera. I know when I find one of my three dark bags I'll definitely be doing a jig.
Why, when you tell someone that you’ve lost something, do they always ask, “Well, where did you leave it last?” Why in the world would it be lost if you knew that?
Did you ever check your pockets three times convinced that's where you may have left whatever you're looking for?
