Collections

Bump


I've updated my list what I can, I have gotten some new glass since the last update but I'm going to have to inventory it and reupdate.
 
Lists are fine and all but why not corrall them alll togehther and give us a nice still life.

Some of you have very impressive collections. Now I feel better. I thought I was a camera hoarder!!!!

I love to collect old cameras and try to find ones that still work and film is still available. I took this picture of just my Minolta colllection to show to a friend who is a sales rep for konica/Minolta. He was curious to see what I have. I'm hoping he has some stuff laying around to donate!!!

Nice pete. At some point in time I might have to put my ragtag group of cameras and lenses together for one picture....till then I am just going with oneoff shots of bodies as I aquire them. I don't have enough of one manufacturer to make an ant hill let alone a mole hill. :(


I still have to reshoot my Ansco and my knockoff Canon. I also will need to remember to get the two reasent Minoltas when they get here.
 
I feel like I have nothing......and I thought I had a decent sized collection....
All my things I have are:

Nikon FM10
80-200mm f/4.0 lens
Nikon 36-72mm f/3.5 lens
Yashica Electro 35 GSN
Olympus Trip 35
And my prized possesion...my grandpa's Kodak 620 Series 2 still with the box and instructions and everything. This is like absolutely irreplacable. I keep it in its box, locked in a fire safe and locked up in my dads gun case when im not using it. (the fire safe isnt just for my camera....its also got some family some other assorted things....just dont want anyone thinking im crazy....)
Heres a picture:

The box has seen better days....the camera is in perfect condition other that a scratch where a plate covers the thing that tells me how many pictures I have left...no avoiding that though...my precious is quite old.

And now my accesorie:
Gaf Memolite (flash)
goldcrest 673 L Tripod (came with my FM10, not sure if I have the name right)
Cable Release (I enjoy it more off the cameras then on lol!)
Lens Cleaning Kit

A very nice TLR collection can be found HERE. I used to have some of these beauties, like the Rollop... :(

This collection belongs to a fellow collector, I thought I'd post it here as well as in the Identifying thread.

Enjoy!
 
These aren't MINE, but they will be eventually...

Petri F1.9 in immacualte condition, did a lil research, and it was made in 1960-61. Ran a roll of film through it the other day, and it works just fine.

Minolta A also in very good condition...Have not shot with it yet, but may try over the weekend. Also, attached to the strap is a Sekonic light meter, and from what I can tell, it works.

The meter attaches to the flash shoe...

I also have a Minolta Hi-Matic AF2
 
The Pentax is a very "useable" camera they were so well designed and built they are only matched by later/current film cameras not surpassed in terms of quality :D

I have 2 or 3.

I just bought a handful of new toys for my Canons and one for my Nikon.

I got:

a Canon FL 58mm reverse coupler
a Set of Vivitar 58mm Macro Filters (1,2 and 3)
a Nikon M extension tube
 
I think there were a couple of other threads with collections, but they were not sticky.

Here is my small collection
Argus A (first Argus model);
Hasselblad 1600F (first Hasselblad model);
Leica I Mod A (first Leitz model);
Mamiya Six I (first Mamiya model);
Rolleiflex I Original (First Rollei model);
Polaroid 95 (First Polaroid model);
Yashica Yashimaflex (First Yachica model, not taking Pigeonflex into account);
C.P. Goerz Taro Tenax (nothing fancy).
