Cool!

I only have 5 film cameras: 2 slr's, 1 Polaroid, 1 point-and-shoot, and 1 Advantix (yeah, those were a bust). The first three are hand-me-downs and the other two were gifts.

Wow bomobob, I'm very jealous! I've only just started, I have my faithful Canon digital and a recently acquired Prinzflex 500. There is a Lomo Smena winging its way across to me from Russia as we speak (won it on ebay) and I'll soon have a Konica C35 too. Yes, I like all the cameras that get slated on photography forums and websites lol.

I'll have to show my other half that photo next time I get moaned at for having too many cameras round the house! I haven't counted for a while but I think I have about 15 ...

I can count 10 cameras in my collection from where i sit right now. There are six more in my bedroom. And countless more i have stored in an old suitcase. Yikes. A sickness I know.

I really want to do a collective post about collections now, take pictures quick cutcopycreate!

I love your yashicas and your whole collection Suzie, I need more yashicas I think :)

I have a lot of my camera collection in my shop...well photographs of them. I love them all and wanted to share them. For those that don't have room or the money for the collection they can have a photograph instead :D

They look so pretty Jillein!

Mine's growing, my husband found a Polaroid 635CL in a charity shop yesterday and bought it for me (£1.25!) - and my Lomo Smena arrived from Russia too :D

Does it count that most of my "collection" is for sale? I have some that are just for me, but most of the cameras I own are for sale in our store... http://thewiebners.com/photografica/?postID=10&showing-off-the-photografica-store-interior-lancaster...

[Former_Member]

i agree cutcopycreate... but if i take a photo of them, i'll have evidence to be used against me from my hubby! lol!

[Former_Member]

haha, I was worried about that too photogenicgallery... but then I just point out everything my boyfriend collects (mainly records...) There must be something your hubby collects too :)

[Former_Member]

yes!!! bonsai trees with his own greenhouse!

so come to think of it, my camera collection doesn't compare...at least they share a room with other stuff i love!

[BannerArts]

Great thread.

I don't know that I have a "collection" so much as I've just never wanted to part with any camera I've had.

So let's see, my Olympus OM-1 from 1976 (?), a Mamiya TLR, SX-70 from about 1978, Canon SLR AE, Canon 20D, and a nice pocket-size Canon PowerShot. And a few that I picked up at garage sales.

[Former_Member]

I just brought two more, I need to update my photo lol :) a fuji instax wide for £4 (still can't believe that) and a ross ensign ful vue super from 1954 which is the cutest thing ever!

[JessaMaePhoto]

Yes, yes, I just added one more as of yesterday: A nice little Yashica Electro 35 GS at the local antique store...poor thing was collecting dust at the bottom an old bookshelf---I had to rescue it! Perfect working condition :D
