Just a thought. This is something I have thought about myself, not to have too much stuff - photography and other aspects. Have any of you thought about this in the past?
Some of us have stuff that we don't use that awfully often and some stuff might not even be functional. Yes some film equipment are surprisingly cheap and some of it is so expensive. Just the other day we had someone from our camera club with the Christmas function who carted a load of stuff with his 2 wheel trolley - family life was taking more of a priority for him. Flatbed film scanner, darkroom equipment - reels and chemistry, his TLR camra, a 35mm AF film SLR and 2x older dSLR and the 11 rolls of expired BW film which I bought off him. He also had with him a flash meter and some reflectors. As expected most of the stuff was unsold. Plus there were a few others who were trying to sell stuff also.
I recently picked at 35mm F2.0 manual focus lens for my Nikon FM2, over time my photography meets more realism, not all that often I am in a photogenic place so often as a walk around camera I only need 1 or 2 lens and the 35/2 is like the analogue version to the Fuji X100. I have 1 or 2 reflector as well and a slide projection screen which I double as a passport background, I don't think I have used that in the past 12 months.
Cheers.
Edit - just fortunately with analog equipment Much of the stuff do not depreciate much given I bought them used.
