Collections

[KoenM]

Today i got the first pieces of my collection.
Some of them need some restauration, but that is for the near future.

Very nice pieces ! Good start.

 

[KoenM]

thank you
I think i got them at a verry nice price to.
Not realy an idea what they are worth, but i bought 8 of them for only $5/piece, and one i got free because it has some damage

The poor man was selling his lifetime collection, when i walked in to his house i tought i came in to a museum.
Never seen so much old cameras together.
To bad i did not have more money on me....

You've got a good deal.

Whoa - this the first time I've bothered to open this forum cuz I only own 1 body and 4 lenses.
I'd like to think my wife would shoot me if I got this obsessed with collecting rather than using my gear but then I see her purse collection and see she could not object.
Mind you, I have many times more watches than wrists so I won't say anything and leave quietly and go take some photos with the one camera I own.

 

[dxqcanada]

Well, we are all not obsessed with just collecting. Many of us shoot/process film so many of these cameras are usable tools (or so we say to ourselves) ... though GAS is still a problem, but they do look pretty on the shelf (my TV is surrounded by old cameras).

IF your Canonets work Id be interested in one or both should the price be right....

 

[dxqcanada]

Ah, the G-III is gone ... I still have the original QL17 but it has lens separation ... hmm, I should actually check what I have left to let go.
